Chester schedules first citywide cleanup Sept. 27 as block captain program grows
Summary
City leaders announced the first annual, citywide Chester community cleanup for Sept. 27 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.), organized through the Chester Block Captain program (about 50 captains enrolled). A celebration with awards, music and food follows 12–2 p.m. at Sun Village Park.
Mayor announced a citywide community cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by a celebration from noon to 2 p.m. at Sun Village Park. Officials said all supplies—gloves, bags, grabbers and brooms—will be provided, and multiple pickup locations across Chester will be pinned to the city's Facebook page and posted on the city website.
The mayor described the event as the first annual citywide Chester community cleanup and framed it as a chance for block captains and residents to demonstrate the growing Chester Block Captain program, which the transcript says has nearly 50 people signed up. ‘‘Please join us,’’ the mayor said, emphasizing both cleanup and the program’s goal of connecting city government to neighborhood representatives.
Separately, speakers noted the Delco 10 Miler will pass through Chester on Sunday and encouraged residents to expect road impacts; one speaker said the race was sold out and reported ‘‘over 1,000’’ registrants, though no official registration total was provided in the meeting. The announcement closed with contact information for public comment at chesterreceivership.com and reminders about where to find event details online.
