The BID is funding a weekly litter pick of the unadopted alleys and ginnels in the town, following on from last year’s jet washing programme. The project is part of the ongoing deep cleaning programme in the town, funded by the BID, which recently included the jet washing in Old Market Place, along with repairing the tree lights and adding planting in this area. The cleaning is the first stage of the alleys and ginnels project which the BID hopes to develop in future years with lighting and using these areas creatively.
