Excellent turnout at our Autumn litter pick on Sunday 25 October and as a bonus, the weather was great! A huge thank you to all who came along.
It was good to see some new faces as well as the usual stalwarts and we are pleased to say that there seemed to be a lot less litter this time. We were particularly pleased about not have to pick up so many used poo bags!
It is still disappointing to find so much litter in the children's playgrounds particularly Conigre. Not only were there lots of plastic bottles, crisp packets and chewing gum, but empty beer cans that had been pulled open before being dumped on the ground so there was a lot of sharp metal for young fingers to cut themselves. This is particularly irksome not only because of the danger to the children, but that there are plenty of litter bins nearby.
Once again a huge thank you to the volunteers who came along.
Look out for details of our next community litter pick which will take place in the Spring.
