The Litterpickers will be out taking part in the national event'Clean for the Queen' We will meet at Dove Cottage , at 10 a.m. and again at midday.We look forward to more people joining us for our third day of action! 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 ! .

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
An important part of our work is with young people. We have met with Junior schools, Brownies and Cubs, and talked about the reduction of litter and recycling.
We liaise with other environmental groups in the area, particularly those with similar aims to ours and we work closely with the local Borough Council.
We have a website:- www.sandbach-cleanteam.co.uk
