Comment by Mark Shearer on November 5, 2009 at 17:52: Hello WANDSWORTH RESIDENTS

We are very proud and happy to be able to launch the Wandsworth Council Eco fund. The pot is sitting there and ready to be used. The entire initiative will be managed by Wandsworth Council - although we (P Dirt) are happy to help with any aspects.

So - do download the form and get scribbling ... if you have a good waste saving initiative that needs funding
