Longmeadow Tenants & Residents Association (TARA) is running a scheme welcoming the community to take part in a litter pick on the estate which will see them given free entry to a Halloween party.

The litter pick will take place between 9.30am and noon on Wednesday, October 30, with the party being held at Longfield Community Centre, in Weavers Drive, at 6.30pm.

James McDonald, TARA chairman, said: “We like to get as many people involved as possible and it is a great message for young people that rewards are out there if you donate your time and help the community.”

Those attending the party are encouraged to wear ghoulish gear while there will also be games and apple bobbing taking place.

On Thursday, between 9.30am and noon the TARA will be running a children’s Halloween crafts workshop at the centre.
