Celebrate Great Big Green Week at Alston Repair Mill!
Bring along anything that needs repairing. Volunteers will look at electrical goods, bicycles, furniture, clothing, zips and textile repairs, in fact just about anything that you can bring along – including garden and DIY tool, knife & scissor sharpening. Find out about joining the Alston Men’s Shed or the Busy Buddies, where you can chat, maybe learn new skills and enjoy making and mending.
There will also be a display from the local Girl Guides group about ‘Upcycle, recycle and reuse’, and you will have chance to talk to Westmorland & Furness and share your thoughts about wheelie bins, green waste charges and recycling, as the council redesigns its waste and recycling services
The Repair Mill is now in the High Mill (the metal door by the foot of the Hill House Bank steps to Jollybeard) – you’ll find it signposted from the back of the Co-op Car Park or go past Cobbles Café and turn right.
