Clean-Up on the Chesterfield Canal

A group of over 30 employees, from three local McDonald’s stores, supported a clean-up of the Chesterfield Canal and the surrounding areas on 21st June; from litter picking, to weed pulling and painting the iron footbridge that crosses the River Rother.

Derbyshire County Council’s Countryside Rangers also played their part, by cutting back undergrowth and removing the dozens of bags of litter and weeds that had been collected during the day.

The Mayor and Mayoress of Chesterfield, Cllr Steve Brunt and Mrs Jill Manion-Brunt, joined the Leader of Chesterfield Borough Council, Cllr John Burrows, at Tapton Lock Visitor Centre to thank the volunteers for their hard work.

Jordan Ball, speaking as a representative for McDonald’s, said:-

“This has been a really worthwhile event. McDonald’s is committed to LWYL – Love Where You Live – and we hope to repeat the exercise next year.”
