Despite less Facebook posts, Brighter Uckfield volunteers continue to litter pick and spruce up the streets of our town every weekend (some are even out litter picking every day!).We hope everyone had a fantastic Carnival on Saturday night - it was great to see the town turn out to support the Bonfire Societies and other participants, after 3 long years! Brighter Uckfield volunteers were out in force early on Sunday morning, cleaning up after the party the night before. Around 50 sacks of litter were set aside for council collection - many of which had been taped to lampposts the night before for people to use as extra bins. We think that the High Street is cleaner after this annual clean up than it is before the Carnival even starts! Please do let us know if you would like to help us on our weekly Sunday morning litter picks. ... See MoreSee Less
