Saturday the 29th of June saw the first of two skip amnesties arranged for Milnshaw take place, the next being the 27th of July on the Milnshaw estate.The skip drives were organised by both the labour ward Councillors, Paul Cox & Clare Pritchard, with funding obtained from the Church & Milnshaw Community Group. The skips, located on both Ribblesdale Ave and Thornyholme Road were a chance for local residents to get rid of any unwanted rubbish.
Head of Enviromental Services and Milnshaw Councillor Paul Cox said "these skip days are a real chance for the local community to get rid of that clutter that's has accumulated and just allows us to give the area a good clean" Chair of Laneside Residents Association Mr Malclom Sommerville added "it was really good to see everybody out and through the course of the day we ended up filling the skips three times over"
The skip amnestys were also supported by Hyndburn Homes, working in cooperation with both Hyndburn Borough Council and Laneside Residents Association, with letter drops and posters produced to advertise the day. All three organisations hope that this type of connected working can produce results that see Laneside estate remain a vibrant part of the Church & Milnshaw community.
