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.

Test Valley Clean Up
The A3057 and A3090 are usually full of litter and the verges are only cleared infrequently - and in many places never. In the Summer it does not look so bad because of the grass - but come the Winter! A number of more minor roads are also left with litter because it would seem that Test Valley Borough Council only cares, if at all, about Andover and Romsey. The aim is to get Test Valley BC to do what it is required to do under the EPA for the district as a whole and not just the main urban areas.

Chailey Litter Pickers
Chailey Litter PIckers have now been active for over a year, having formed in April 2016. We meet as a group monthly, to pick as wide an area as we can in one go. Group members also pick around their own area between group events. Some equipment is always available for group events and I can help people to purchase their own equipment if they would like to do so - gloves, grabbers, bag hoops. We will happily also travel to pick in other areas to help out on group events or to pick in areas where a particular need has been brought to our attention.
