It was great to team up with Councillor Lesley Adams, Burslem Park and be joined by local volunteers, Nkita and Bella for a community litter pick.

It is so important we respect our environment so it can be enjoyed by all and protected for future generations.

It was great to have so many local volunteers from across Milton, alongside Nkita and Bella, out for our local community litter pick which Jo Gideon MP,  Cllr Dave Evans, Cllr James Smith,  Cllr Carl Edwards and I organised.

Unfortunately, as I have two right feet, I did not make the cut.

It was great to join one of the local Sergeants from the Stoke-on-Trent North Neighbourhood Policing Team this evening.
