Uckfield Carnival clear-up

Uckfield,TN22 1AE

03 Sep 2011

23:00

Uckfield Carnival, 3 September 2011 The High Street on the morning of 4 September was an horrendous sight. Bottles, cans and fast food containers all over the place. 4 BUC volunteers spent two-and-a-half hours clearing the High Street and collected 24 bags of rubbish, including a black sack half-filled with cooked sausages and burgers. The Campaign has written to Carnival organisers to try to find a better way to deal with this sort of thing next year. It seems the District Council does not want to know about responding to a carnival event when it comes to litter..

Erdington Litter Busters
Erdington Litter Busters was founded in June 2018 by Rob Gunnell. The idea was to start cleaning up Erdington bit by bit, then grow into a community of volunteers who could keep the area clean. Now we have some support, and a growing group of us meet up twice a month on Saturday mornings near Six Ways island, clear different areas, and have a friendly coffee afterwards. The more people that help us, the greater the difference we can make - and people are already seeing the area improving.
