Mousehole residents take caring for the village in to their own hands
RESIDENTS in Mousehole cleared litter and debris from the village's beach and surrounding drains, in the first of what will now be monthly meetings.
More than 15 villagers responded to the call of LOVE Mousehole on Saturday.

The informal group, which met for the first time last month, was set up to discuss issues and organise community events.
And following the success of the first Mousehole Walkabout to help tackle flooding problems in the village, the group has now decided to make it a monthly occurrence.

Alice Maddox, who helped organise the first meeting, said: "I think it went really well. We went on to the beach and cleared away all the plastic and weeds, and started work on a flower bed in the car park.
"It was a really good community event, quite a few people who came to the first meeting came as well as few people who read about it."
The group will meet on the first Saturday of every month at 1.30pm at Mousehole Memorial to sweep the village for debris.

“All credit to them for what they are doing but wouldn't it be good if there weren't so many lazy irresponsible idiots about to turn areas into eyesores. What it needs is for some really hefty fines to be handed down for leaving litter lying around not the derisory fines we see given out when someone is caught. Before White River Place in St Austell Aylmer Square had a lot of litter bins and it was common for the area to have a lot of litter strewn everywhere but in the bins. These people are lazy it is the only word for them.”
