Windy Hill Lane bridleway and beach entrance

Marske-by-the-sea,TS11

08 Jun 2012

23:00

Our next litter pick is on this coming Saturday 9th June from 10am - 12pm. Please meet at the top end of Windy Hill Lane (on the corner with Church Howle Crescent). We will be working along the bridleway and down onto the beach. The Council team will be helping to carry the full bags back up the bridleway from the beach. Please wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather. Litter pickers, vinyl gloves and bin bags will be provided, but please bring gardening gloves if you have them. Under 18's are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We'll call it 15 bags - they weren't totally full but it was a long steep climb for Paul from the Council to collect them! Thanks Paul, we do appreciate it especially when you didn't know anything about it or where you were going! Thanks too to our 2 new volunteers who joined us 2 regulars and made a fantastic difference to this beautiful beach entrance.

All the usual suspects and a worrying amount of balloons and attached ribbons - please don't release balloons, if they end up in the sea they are a real threat to marine wildlife. And an extra 14 bags added to the total by Chris - one carrier full of litter every day when out with her dog - thank you!.

Keeping Rothwell Clean & Green
Spurred on by the grass verges and parks around our lovely town regularly covered with litter, I decided to do litter picking walks in my free time. I have now formed this group, which is also on Facebook, to encourage others to help. I love where I live and aim to make others proud of their locality, so they think twice before chucking their rubbish. Don’t chuck it, bin it.
