‘Love Where You Live’ was the message around Lopham Street on 31st August.
Volunteers from Burngreave Tenants and Residents Association (TARA) and Sheffield Homes staff did a thorough litter-pick around the area, followed by a buffet provided by the TARA.
The Lopham area has suffered with issues of fly tipping and rubbish problems for many years. The Love Where You Live campaign includes information for residents about how best to get rid of rubbish and how to report problems.
It is hoped that this awareness raising, followed by the clean up day, will encourage everyone to look after the area.
Burngreave TARA recently organised a trip to Cleethorpes and, following requests from tenants and residents, will be off to Blackpool Illuminations next.
The TARA now have the following activities for local residents:
Basic IT classes at Burngreave Vestry Hall, Wednesdays 1 – 3pm
Sewing class at Welcome Centre Mondays 1 – 3pm
Photography sessions at Burngreave Vestry Hall in October
Aerobics for women at Verdon Recreation Centre, Thursdays 9.30 – 10.30am, £2
Zumba for kids at Verdon Recreation Centre, Tuesdays 4.30-5.15pm, £1
