Local MP and Volunteers Clean Up the River Wandle

November 4, 2009 12:22 PM

Tom Brake MP and a team of around a dozen volunteers spent last Saturday cleaning up a stretch of the River Wandle as part of CSV (Community Service Volunteer) Make A Difference Day.

Tom and the team cleared around 20 bags worth of rubbish from the area and some braver volunteers even got into the River to retrieve rubbish and other items that had been dumped there.

Speaking after the clean up Tom said, 'We have had a great morning down here and in the spirit of the day really made a difference in our local area.'

Tom went on to say, 'Not only did we find a lot of rubbish, we have also removed some larger, and more surprising items, such as a dining room chair and an exercise bike!'

'I would like thank everyone who took the time to come along and help out and also to Strawberry Lane Baptist Church who provided us with much with needed refreshments!'

    If you are a resident of the Carshalton and Wallington constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
