The Canalside Environment Group in North Oxford was formed in November 2005. It was originally planned as a Waterways Estate Environment Group but there was such interest from Aristotle Lane and Waterside estates that it was decided to expand and, as all these estates lie along the canal, the name Canalside Environment Group was agreed!
The group has regular swap shops, has joined the OxClean events litter picking in the area, as well has organising Christmas tree shredding and garden events. In 2009 the group won the £250 prize provided by Oxfordshire Waste Partnership for taking part in the county-wide spring clean event. Members of the group organised two spring-clean litter picks.
Group Aims
The Canalside Environment aims to promote sustainable lifestyles in the local area and help develop the sense of community on these new estates.
