PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday October 7 2021 3 Big turn out for clean up • By John Cosgrove MORE THAN 100 people will turn up on Sunday to give New Brighton mall a spruce up. The annual Brighten Up community clean-up event has been swamped with so many volunteers that organisers have had to open a second registration site. Coastal- Burwood Community Board deputy chairwoman Jo Zervos was impressed with Jo Zervos the response, with more than 100 volunteers keen to help clean up the areas surrounding the mall for two hours on Sunday. “There are so many coming that we have to divide the mall up into sections to cater for Covid level 2 restrictions. “It sounds really promising that we will make a good impact on getting many of the small jobs done,” she said. Since the event was publicised in Pegasus Post two weeks ago, Zervos said other groups had been in touch and will take on a number of smaller side projects in the community. “They are joining a large HIKING BOOTS & SHOES UNTIDY: More than 100 volunteers have so far put their hands up to help clean up New Brighton on Sunday.
