Chester & District Housing Trust hold a spring clean

A community came together to clear three skip loads of rubbish in a rural village near Chester, as part of a clean-up day held by Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT).

The event at Springfield Road, Malpas also saw residents offered free advice and home safety visits from Cheshire Fire Safety Advocates.

The skips were funded jointly by the CDHT’s community intervention budget and by Cheshire West & Cheshire Council.

Paula Marshall, CDHT community housing officer, said:
“We are really pleased with the response in Malpas. This is a facility for all residents, not just those from the Trust, where bigger items that cannot be disposed of with domestic rubbish can be cleared. Everything that is collected is recycled.”
