Winter Walk Ups!

Appleby Litter Pickers!

The Thatched Cottage,9 Paul Lane,APPLEBY,DN15 0AR

08 Dec 2012

00:00

Risby Road today! 8 sacks and counting! Another 15 sacks collected from Ermine Street north and south - Appleby and its surrounding area and litter free again! January 13 2013 - Today we tackled Risby Road. The litter pick resulted in a dozen sacks of litter. Some car parts from where cars had skidded off the road too! Plus a dozen car tyres collected from various roadside verges made this a worthwhile clean up! February 10 2013 - 7 more sacks from Risby Road and the other lanes leading in and out of the village - and 15 tyres! March 9 2013 - 13 sacks on a very wet Saturday! Another trye and a first - a ghetto blaster type radio!.

Appleby Litter Pickers!
We are a small group of volunteers who go out and about armed with litter picking sticks, hoops and bags collecting discarded litter from the paths and verges around our beautiful village and surrounding area. We are proud of where we live and by keeping the lanes and village litter free it shows we care about our community. We meet on a regular basis, usually at the weekend, tackling the area road by road. We try and keep Risby Road, Ermine Street north and south of the village for a couple of miles in each direction as well as within the village itself clear of litter. Sometimes we go further afield if the urge takes us! We welcome your support. Details of the forthcoming Litter-Pick dates may be found here on the Litter action website, on the village website (www.appley-lincs.co.uk) on the village notice board and on the village FaceBook Group (residents will need to join to see the information). We are supported by North Lincolnshire Council who collect the sacks of litter from our home for which we are very grateful. While we are always pleased to welcome new helpers to our small group of volunteers, if you can't help but wish to show your support please give us a toot on your horn and a cheery wave (and a wide berth) when you see us - a spot of encouragement goes a long way! Little could be said to beat the sense of achievement when you have litter picked the beautiful lanes surrounding our village. The countryside is transformed! Getting rid of litter really DOES make a difference!
