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.
