Debenham Litterpickers Spring Clean Up-Clean for the Queen Despite very cold, very wet weather, on Saturday 5th March 35 people turned out to remove litter and fly tipping from ditches, footpaths, woodlands and hedgerows. Over 130kg of litter (30 bags) were collected by Mid Suffolk the following Monday. The amazing team were based at Dove Cottage, enjoyed lunch, met up with old friends and made new ones! It was wonderful to have Debenham Beaver Scouts join us. Debenham Parish Council, Babergh and Mid Suffolk Council and Debenhamlitterpickers worked together on this event. If you are aware of fly tipping or frequent littering, please contact Martin Loveridge Parish Councillor loveridgemartin@yahoo.co.uk or Joy Walton Debenhamlitterpickers joyw@btinternet.com.

If you would like to adopt an area please get in touch –equipment and advice on avoiding risk will be provided. Further strategies are intended to reduce –even stop?!-littering and fly tipping in and around our village. Everyone is welcome to join Debenhamlitterpickers –details to follow for the Autumn clean ! .

Mossley Hill
Having written to the council and asked them what they're doing about the litter in the area I thought this looked interesting. Not sure if there are any other people around Mossley Hill who aren't keen on the litter, particularly around Rose Lane but I wondered there might be enough people to do a group litter collection sometime. It's so nice to go out and find the street clean and tidy, it would be great if it happened more often.
