THE dedicated volunteers of Irvine Clean Up Crew filled 27 bags of rubbish after bins were emptied along Irvine Beach on Sunday. The volunteers – led by Rachel Little, Tamara Millard, Alan Hughes and Sandra Cuthbertson – rolled up their sleeves and headed to the beach when they heard the bins had been emptied. One passer by, Catherine Bayliss said: “Well done to all who picked up litter on the beach, my friend and I were commenting how clean and tidy it looked.” This is just the latest effort by this band of litter pickers who are busy cleaning up Irvine, Kilwinning and beyond.
Clean up volunteer Callum takes pride in his town Irvine Clean Up Crew member Callum Fraser rolled up his sleeves to fix planters at the town s station that had been vandalised. Community minded Callum saw that the flower beds and planters were vandalised and headed straight down to tidy up the area on Monday night. He then went back the next day to plant bulbs for the giant planters.
The damaged planters were transformed by Callum Irvine Clean Up Crew is made up of people in the town who get head out and tidy up streets and the beach. And while they are unable to meet as a group during Tier 4 the members are all busy with their own clean up projects in the streets where they live.
