On Wednesday 7 October 2026, from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, we'll be carrying out an environmental improvement afternoon around Crow Wood Lane.

AKM, who are currently delivering the new development on Crow Wood Lane, are supporting this community event to help improve the surrounding neighbourhood.

The project will include a range of activities, including a community litter pick and daffodil bulb planting to help brighten the area for spring.

What's happening on the day?

Our teams and local residents will be working together to:

• 🧤 Carry out a community litter pick
• 🌼 Plant daffodil bulbs to brighten the area for spring
• ♻️ Provide skips for residents to dispose of unwanted household waste
• 🏡 Help improve shared outdoor spaces and the surrounding neighbourhood
• 🌱 Work together to create a cleaner, greener and more welcoming environment

Skip locations

Two skips will be available for residents to use:

• AKM skip: Located on Crow Wood Lane, outside the new housing development
• Second skip: Located at the corner where Smyth Road meets Crow Wood Lane

Items accepted

✅ Household waste
✅ Garden waste
✅ Wood
✅ Rubble
✅ Soil

Items not accepted

❌ Tyres
❌ Electrical items and white goods

Please note

• Skips are likely to fill quickly and will not be replaced, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
• Please do not leave any items on site after 3.30pm. Any waste left behind may be treated as fly-tipping.
• Halton Housing officers will be on site throughout the event to provide support and guidance.
• A scrap metal collector will be attending during the event. Please leave metal items next to the skips rather than placing them inside.

Get involved

Residents are welcome to come along and get involved for an hour or two. Whether you'd like to help with the litter pick, planting or simply support the event, we'd love to see you.

All tools and materials will be provided.
