Young People Front Community Clean Up

A community clean up recently took place in Energlyn, where a group of environmentally friendly young people helped to make the area cleaner and greener. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

15 young people took part in the clean-up, where footpaths along the old railway sidings were made clean and tidy. Bulbs were then planted including daffodils, bluebells, tulips and snow drop in and around the local park and ride. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cllr Nigel George, Cabinet Member for Community and Leisure Services said: “I would like to thank the pupils from Plas Y Felin School, the students from Coleg Y Cymoedd and Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Tidy Team and Countryside Team. They should all be very proud of their efforts in helping to improve the quality of the local environment. Caerphilly County Borough Council will be continuing this environmental improvement work throughout the winter and will help us meet the objectives of Welsh Government’s Wellbeing of Future Generations Act”. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
