Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. Nicholas, Saivaran, Nicole, Sunathee and Andy. Total of 3 bags. 1 hours. 40 minutes Route Saxon Close, Turchil Road, Cawston Grange Drive, Cave Close Play Area then bridle path around the back of the estate. Rejoined top end of Cawston Grange Drive both sides back to Turchil Road. ***Dog Poo plastic We found more than 30 bottles beer 🍺 tins 🥫 Milk bottles🥛 fizzy drinks, broken beer bottles, Foam, plastic sheets and cigarettes packets 🚬 but the thing that discuses us and my friends the most was bagged dog 🐕 Poo 💩 in the hedge rows. Would have been better not to have bagged it at all as dog poo is biodegradable.

Lazy people who call themselves animals lovers but destroy environment with plastic bag around estate, when there are waste bins for dogs within easy walking distance is disgraceful. Also having cleared an area of litter its shocking how quickly the litter returns. I think they council should display on the lamp posts the maximum cost for drooping litter as they did back in the 1980s. May make people think twice. .

Allington Alligators
As from October 2021, we will be operating as normal and resuming our monthly organised litterpicks in the Allington area. These usually take place on a Sunday morning starting at 10am for an hour or so at a venue advertised on the events section. We generally follow our litterpick in a local cafe for a chat and refreshments. We are a small friendly group of like-minded individuals who care about our local environment and want to keep it clean and tidy. If you are interested in joining us then do please get in touch and give us a try - new members are always welcome. All equipment is provided.

ECOLOGISERS
We want to get beyond litter picking (though we still do it) and we seek to educate the younger generation through running humorous photographic contests on an anti-litter theme, school visits, and publicity on the issue generally This year we are running Litter Goes Literary, a photographic contest for young people (free entry) who must submit a humourly captioned photo from a litter pick, along with an ecologised version of one verse of a favourite song.

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.
