26 bags of dirt were collected on Belfast Road by volunteers from Saintfield Development Association as part of the Down Your Street campaign.  Both sides of the road, footpaths and road entrances were cleaned from the traffic lights to Claddagh Hill and from Cotswold Downs to the former Hocks’n’Hooves building.

Belfast Road after the Down Your Street campaign volunteers have been in action.

Just some of the 26 bags of dirt collected on a short stretch of the Belfast Road by volunteers from Saintfield Development Association.

Would you be willing to help the Down Your Street campaign?  Even volunteering for a short time can help to make a difference!
