Today we couldn’t help but notice some "rogue" shopping trolleys in the canal alongside Weavers Wharf… and that’s definitely an understatement. After pulling them out, we ended up recovering over 15 trolleys, with a full mix from M&S, Tesco, Morrisons, and even The Range, so they’d clearly travelled a fair way! 😅 One of them had definitely seen better days too… Alongside the trolleys, we also found a couple of sandbags, an umbrella (not the best place for it), and even some computer boards. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep the town safer and cleaner, we couldn’t wait until the weekly update to share this one with you. You really never know what you’re going to find! #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #support #community #local #town #love #litter #cleaning

It’s been a busy one for our team this week They’ve been out across town litter picking, tidying up pathways, and helping make our streets cleaner, safer and more welcoming. 💙 Over at the Horsefair, they tackled overgrown greenery, supported businesses in the area and even came across a bit of a "secret stash" of buckets hidden away 😅 Behind the scenes, it’s been a big effort too with over 140,000 steps clocked and 11+ bags of litter collected. The team also supported local businesses including Asda, A1 Jeans and Dunelm, helping to freshen up frontages and give key areas a much-needed tidy. It’s been a really positive and impactful month, and we’re excited to carry this momentum into February with even more improvements across the town. 🌿 #Kidderminster #community #local #support #Cleaning #Events #town #love #litter #worcestershire

Another week into the year and our BID team have been busy supporting local businesses and tidying up pathways across town, helping make our streets cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for everyone. It’s been a cold start to the year, but that hasn’t slowed Chris and Ricky down. 💙 This week they came across one of the most surprising finds yet, you won’t believe the photo above… and honestly, we didn’t believe it at first either! A hidden “goldmine” of litter tucked away near the old Wilko site. Alongside that, they collected 11 bags of litter and supported local businesses including Dunelm and B&Q with clean-ups. 🫣 We’re excited to keep the momentum going and crack on with more projects as the year moves forward. As always, if there’s an area you think needs some attention, let us know, and thank you for all your continued support. It really means a lot. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #family #love #events #litter #cleaning #local #support #town #community
