Stechford Neighbourhood Website - www.connectingstechford.co.uk

The newly formed residents group Community Family Residents Group (CFRG) have been working with Connecting Neighbourhoods CIC to produce a new neighbourhood website / blog.

It is hoped that this new  website will become a one-stop place for local residents to find out lots of useful information about the local community and area

Take a look and let us know what you think....

CFRG 'Olympic' Junior Street Champions

Community Family Residents Group have so far signed up 22 local children  to the 'Summer Olympic Challenge' to keep the neighbourhood clean, green and tidy.


The Junior Street Champions have made their ID badges using digital photography and have been issued with their 'Summer Olympic Challenge' cards allowing them to collect stickers each time they complete an environmental activity such as litter picking, gardening etc.


Collection of 15 stickers will be rewarded with a GOLD medal and certificate.

Who will have more gold medals by the end of the Summer, our GB team or our Junior Street Champions?
