Simon Ashton is a Labour Councillor for Sowerby Bridge ward. He says:
“Among the many initiatives I get involved in for Sowerby Bridge are community litter picks. I find it a constant source of inspiration to see the levels of pride people take in where we live. Calderdale’s wonderful volunteers build community spirit and show what can be achieved when we pull together to care for our shared spaces.
Across Calderdale, volunteers play a vital role in keeping our borough clean, green, and welcoming. Their dedication shows the very best of our community — and I’m proud to stand alongside them.”
