Strathpeffer community ‘keen to keep beautiful spaces to enjoy’ after park clean-up

MEMBERS of the Strathpeffer community rolled up their sleeves to chip in to a clean-up the local park in a bid to “keep beautiful spaces for everyone to enjoy”.

The community clean-up was organised by Strathpeffer Station Trading, in conjunction with the Spring Clean Scotland campaign. Staff from the Station Trading community shop and members of the Strathpeffer Residents Association were both key players in the organisation and attendance of the event.

The Strathpeffer Residents Association are also fundraising to build playparks for the local children. Having successfully installed Phase 1 equipment, the association is now fundraising to deliver Phase 2 of the development, which will include inclusive equipment for toddler to 4-year-olds and additional inclusive play.
