Our much-loved Treasure Our Town campaign is back for 2026, and we’re urgently looking for more volunteers to help us continue making a difference.

Without continued community support, the initiative simply cannot continue in its current form. Even giving just one hour a month can lead to huge improvements in keeping Colne clean, cared for, and welcoming for everyone 💚

Join us on the last Wednesday of every month to help:

✅ Collect litter
✅ Highlight maintenance issues around town
✅ Care for our shared spaces, streets, and parks
✅ Make a positive difference in the community

This Wednesday the 27th May is our first session of 2026 and will take place 5.30-6.30pm on the land behind Windy Bank - we really hope you can join us 🙏

All equipment is provided — just bring yourself and some community spirit!

Session times vary throughout the year to help fit around different schedules and commitments. Check out the timetable below for locations and meeting points 👇

𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿! 🪧

Colne is a small town with a big history — and a community that takes real pride in where we live.

We’re asking residents to be our eyes and ears and report damaged, broken, or missing street signs whenever you spot them around town.

Clear signage not only helps people find their way, but also plays an important role in shaping first impressions of Colne for visitors and residents alike.

Taking pride in our town means noticing the little things that make a big difference. Well-maintained street signs help Colne feel cared for, welcoming, and well looked after — reflecting the pride we all share in our community.

Spot it. Tell us. We’ll report it.

Every report will be logged and passed to the relevant authority, with the aim of getting any issues resolved as quickly as possible.

👉 Report issues by emailing >>> 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲@𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹.𝗴𝗼𝘃.𝘂𝗸
