Milnshaw: Local Councillor gets involved in Laneside clean up

Working with Lanside Residents Association, Milnshaw Ward Councillor, Paul Cox took part in a community clean up day on Laneside estate in Accington on Saturday 12th March. Using funding obtained via Lancashire County County the residents association once again ensured the estate took part in this much appreciated spring clean.

Chair of Laneside Residents Association, Malcolm Sommerville, said, "We have been working hard over the last 20 years in improving our estate, this is another example of how we work to do this. I’m really great full that Paul, our local councillor, mucks in and helps keep the area clean."

The community clean saw skips, supplied by Hyndburn Borough Council, located at the junction of Haywood Rd and Ribblesdale Ave. The event ran from 8.30 till 12 and was aimed at Laneside's residents, giving them a chance to get rid of some of their winter waste. 

Local Labour Ward Councillor Paul Cox stated, "I always help these local events, keeping both Milnshaw, including Laneside estate, clean is vitally important to me. Getting involved in these projects is a important part of this. I believe almost three tons of waste was collected during this event which proves how successful they are."
