Debenham Litter Pick

6 Cross Green ,Debenham,IP14 6RW

01 May 2015

23:00

Saturday 2 May at 10am and 12 noon. Meet at Dove Cottage. Refreshments and equipment provided. Area to be confirmed on the day. Contact Debenham Parish Council Clerk on 01473 787861 or Just turn up! Photos from the great day are now in the event gallery! As you can see, there is the haul from the lake Steve collected, Lucy's mini system find (taken to the heart research charity shop) , and the tyre Will sourced! Tony and I weighed the bags yesterday- 71kg, including 5kg of tyre! 4 bags were donated by Kevin Voller, who cleared part of the Kenton Road,up to Debenham Garage. There are a few thoughts around for tackling the issue - a request to runners, cyclists, walkers and dog walkers , to report any flytipping or green lane littering - 'positive' signs on entering the village and involving the schools-please let me know if you have some more ideas . Another litter pick day in the autumn is a great idea, I will discuss a date with Gilly, and get back to everyone asap. Joy .
