Alness estate blitz sees many hands make lighter work
RESIDENTS in an Easter Ross housing estate rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in to collecting a mountain of rubbish around local allotments.
The clean up in Milnafua came on the back of an earlier roadside rubbish campaign launched by Ross and Cromarty Lord Lieutenant, Joanie Whiteford.
Cromarty Firth ward councillor Sinclair Coghill said: “Most of the volunteers are Milnafua residents keen to make improvements to their community, which is heartening to see.

“A good number of volunteers were allotments users who have made huge improvements to their site, including putting in a new water supply.
“I hope more communities will be inspired to get involved in tidying. Many hands can make a huge difference in a short time.”
He expressed thanks to the Highland Council waste operations team for providing bags, gloves and litter pickers for the volunteers.
