Village says good riddance to bad rubbish of plastic sacks
HENFIELD will join the small but increasing number of communities going plastic bag-free when it launches its own scheme on May 3.
On that date, more than 40 of the retail outlets in the village will stop giving out plastic carrier bags, using environmentally friendly alternatives instead.
A well-known personality will launch the 'no plastic' drive in High Street at 11am, followed by street entertainment and a tour of the shops taking part. A small group representing traders and the Henfield Community Partnership has led the campaign. Its website is at www.
