On Friday 1st August 2025, dedicated local volunteers rolled up their sleeves and took part in a Community Clean-Up Day in Great Shefford, making a real difference to some key areas in the village.
The team tackled several important tasks, including:
Weeding and cleaning around the children’s play area
Washing down signage and the dog waste bin at the recreation ground
Cleaning the roadside barriers along Station Road and strimming back vegetation
Cutting back overgrown vegetation that had completely engulfed a crucial road sign near The Swan
Their efforts have already made a visible impact, improving safety, tidiness, and the overall appeal of the village. It's a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when community spirit and civic pride come together.
The Parish Council hopes to make these Clean-Up Days a regular event and encourages more residents to get involved. These small acts of care go a long way in enhancing our shared spaces and building a stronger, connected community.
Keep an eye on the Parish Council website and village Facebook pages for updates on future events and opportunities to lend a hand, or drop an email to clerk@greatsheffordparish.gov.uk to express your interest.
Together, we can take pride in where we live and keep our village looking its best for everyone.
