We know from our recent e-waste week with @stratforddc.bsky.social that some people have old smart phones kicking around in drawers and cupboards. Now you can help Welcome Here Stratford by donating them for use by newcomers to the town. Drop them off at our Climate Hub in Meer Street.

Two #ActiveTravel projects up for funding by @stratforddc.bsky.social using CIL money: * Stratford Greenway resurfacing Phase 2 44 £660,000 and * Broom to Bidford Health Centre Two Shires Greenway £350,000 Both good news, especially if the surfacing is done as all weather smooth tarmac this time

We had a great response to our call with @stratforddc.bsky.social to bring e-waste to the Climate Hub. This was all collected this morning, so if you still have small items old tech to recycle please put them in a carrier back on top of, or by the side of, your bins on your normal collection day.
