Strathbungo Community Clear Up (Brighter Bungo)

Sunday 13th March 2016

Meet at the corner of Nithsdale Road & Moray Place (Sammy Dow’s/Lebowskis)

Time: between 11 am & 1 pm

If you have a wheelbarrow please bring it along.

Alan Dobson is organising the latest Strathbungo Volunteer Clean Up this Sunday. Your support would be greatly appreciated, as always. Please meet at the corner of Nithsdale Road and Moray Place (Sammy Dows) at 11.00am. Equipment and training will be provided, as will tea, coffee & shortbread, with any luck!

To add to the fun, a small gang (Andrew & Stephen) intend to have a go at clearing some of the overgrowth through the Moray Place fence. Anyone willing to help out with this would be most welcome. If you have tools (loppers, rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows) or are a dab hand with a petrol hedge trimmer, even better.

Your quarterly Strathbungo Volunteer Clean Up is back this Sunday. Alan Dobson will be taking over Brighter Bungo this Sunday from Bryan Miiler who has departed to warmer climes. Your support for Alan as he takes on this venture would be greatly appreciated. Please meet at the corner of Nithsdale Road and Moray Place at 11.00am. Equipment and training will be provided!

The next Brighter Bungo community cleanup is happening this Sunday (14th June) between 11am and 1pm. Please come along to the Moray Place/Nithsdale Road intersection and help get the lanes into shape for Bungo in the Back Lanes.

The next Brighter Bungo community clean-up will be taking place between 11am and 1pm on Sunday 8th March. Come along to the Moray Place/Nithsdale Road intersection anytime to take part. We provide all the equipment, just bring yourself.

Nithsdale Road is a street brimming with potential in the heart of a fine neighbourhood but we all know it could be even better. Now the batching plant is packing up it’s a great time for the whole community to seize the opportunity and get cracking.

The Strathbungo Society is planning a community clean-up and planting day on Saturday May 5^th from 10.30am as part of our ongoing Brighter Bungo scheme and Keep Scotland Beautiful’s National Spring Clean event.

Keep Scotland Beautiful is one of Scotland’s leading environmental charities. It works across Scotland cleaning and greening up communities, schools and businesses, and has been doing so since 1970. The state of Strathbungo’s litter problem is not going to change overnight but YOU can make a difference. The Society, Keep Scotland Beautiful and Clean Glasgow will supply the equipment and remove the waste – on our last Brighter Bungo clean ups we filled a skip – but we do need lots of willing volunteers.

We’ll be meeting at the planter near the junction with Moray Place but it won’t just be Nithsdale Road we’re cleaning. The more volunteers, the larger an area we can cover, so if you want to tidy up your street, back lane or verge, grab some neighbours and get stuck in.

Once the clean up is over, why not find out more about greening up your bit of the Bungo? We’ll be combining the clean up with a planting session, providing window boxes, some seeds and plants and lots of tips and ideas for perking up front gardens, planters and windowsills. So let’s forget cars and concrete and get working on flowers and foliage for a cleaner, greener, brighter Bungo.
