Reeve works as the community liaison link between the Thornhill
Tidy Team, the local community and partner organisations.
He sees working together as the key to sustaining a ‘cleaner,
greener' Thornhill.
Bob
believes that, as future citizens, Thornhill's young people
are the key to longer term improvements. He spends a lot of
time in schools and youth centres educating them on the environment
and the importance of looking after it. He is currently running
a ‘U-Tidy' competition for youngsters and setting up biodiversity
projects so the wider community can be part of creating a
cleaner Thornhill with a lot more colour and wildlife.
