Saturday: Antioch Police to Host 70th Neighborhood Cleanup Event

by ECT

The Antioch Police Department announced it will host its 70th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program.

The cleanup event will occur on Saturday, May 7th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Volunteers will meet at the Live Oak School parking lot. They will be cleaning the neighborhoods between G and F Streets from 17th to 11th Street.

Police say collectively, “We”, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. It’s our community and it’s our chance to make a difference.

The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.

Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance. Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from The Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program; Volunteers in Police Service; community volunteers and the Public Works Department.

Don’t miss the garbage house on the corner of F St. and W. 16th St. I’ll be taking before and after pictures. 2 things living on the porch. House has been like this since September of last year. If anyone has a number to call and complain, leave it in a reply. Thank you.
