💚YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR ESTATE, YOUR CELEBRATION! 💚
We're getting excited for our annual Noctorum Fireworks & Bonfire Night celebrations on Thursday 5th November! 🎇
But before the celebrations begin, we need YOUR help to get our community looking its best! 💪🌳
🧹🌿 COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP – WEDNESDAY 4TH NOVEMBER
We're joining forces with local residents, volunteers and partners to give the estate a good tidy-up before the big night!
🚮 Community skip available: 9am–3pm
📍 Litter pick meeting point: Sorrel Close Field – Nocky Nook
🕥 Meet at 10.30am – volunteers will be out litter picking from 11am.
Whether you can spare 30 minutes or a couple of hours, every little bit helps! Bring your friends, family and neighbours. Let's show what we can achieve when we pull together! ❤️
🚛 IMPORTANT – PLEASE HELP US KEEP THE SKIP SAFE!
We're incredibly grateful to Wirral Council for kindly arranging a skip and supporting the removal of rubbish from our community.
However, the skip company has strict safety and waste disposal rules which EVERYONE MUST FOLLOW.
🚫 **The following items CANNOT go in the skip:**
❌ Tyres, gas bottles or fridges
❌ Asbestos, plasterboard or gypsum products
❌ Paint, batteries, TVs or fluorescent tubes
❌ Mattresses, sofas, beanbags, cushions or other upholstered/foam furniture
❌ Tree stumps or restricted older external timber/joinery
❌ Food waste, household bin bags or dog waste
❌ Awkward or unsafe-to-handle waste
❌ Concrete must not be poured into the skip.
⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT OVERLOAD THE SKIP!
The skip company reserves the right to refuse incorrectly described or prohibited waste. This could affect collection and create additional costs.
🚛 WHAT ABOUT LARGE ITEMS?
Larger items that have been approved for collection must NOT be placed inside the skip.
Please leave them neatly alongside the skip in the designated area for collection by Biffa, following the directions of the clean-up team.
Please don't leave prohibited items or assume that everything placed beside the skip can be collected. If you're unsure, ask one of our volunteers first.
🎆🔥 THEN IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE – THURSDAY 5TH NOVEMBER!

🔥 Fire dancers

⚠️ FIRE SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY!
Following strict fire safety requirements, ONLY clean, untreated wooden pallets can be accepted for the bonfire.
❌ No painted, stained or chemically treated wood.
❌ No contaminated, dirty or unknown pallets.
❌ No MDF, chipboard, plywood or other manufactured wood.
❌ No general waste, furniture or unsuitable timber.
✅ All pallets must be checked and approved by our team before collection or use.
Please don't leave pallets or wood at the bonfire site without prior agreement.
💚 If you know a supplier who could donate suitable pallets, or you can help with transport and collection, please message Crea8ing Community!
Every bit of help makes a difference. Together, we can make this a fantastic, safe community celebration! 🎆❤️
