A local church congregation put on their gloves and set to work cleaning up rubbish in Ordsall.
A rubbish-strewn Robert Hall Road was the target for around 100 volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God. The clean-up on Sunday 11th March took around two hours, with scores of binbags full of sweet wrappers, empty cans and general detritus being picked up.
The Church of God says that the purpose of the campaign is to “practice the love of the Passover of the new covenant, which was restored by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time,” for their 2012 Worldwide Environmental Cleanup campaign.
The campaign is to be carried out in about 2,200 places of 150 countries where the branches of the Church of God have been established; including the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Church says that it will continue the campaign until April 5th 2012.
Another clean-up campaign is planned in Ordsall for 18th March.
