Regular litterpick

Hertford,SG13 8AZ

22 Apr 2020

23:00

Litterpick on the A414 from the Bluecoats roundabout to the Mercedes roundabout in Hertford. The quiet traffic gives the opportunity to get safely onto the central reservation. I have litter picked here a couple of times recently and it is satisfying to see a small improvement. With the closure of so many fast food outlets there seems to be fewer items of ‘new’ litter. One good thing about the current otherwise difficult circumstances. A bag easily collected on my way to my proposed litterpick so will return soon..

Gamston Litter Pickers
Rubbish disposal and fly tipping is becoming an increasing problem nationally compounded by reduced services across the counties. Many communities are taking it upon themselves to get out and tidy up their local areas by grabbing a bag and a litter picker and spending an hour or so in their immediate local area picking up discarded rubbish. If you are interested in meeting up once a month then please come along on the third Saturday, and together we can make a difference to rubbish and fly tipping in our area. All equipment is provided, including ‘kids kits’ so that children can participate safely too. We meet at 10am at the Gamston Village Hall and are out for a maximum of 2 hours. The monthly litter picking is in Gamston but the equipment is available for all residents of the villages of Adbolton, Bassingfield, Gamston and Holme Pierrepont to use.

Great Dunmow Grabber(s)
Living near the recreation ground and being a dog walker I usually pick up litter whilst wandering and have taken part in litter clearance events in Chelmsford. My hope is that by setting up this group I can act as a focal point for local residents in helping to maintain the beauty of this town by taking part in occasional "pick-up" events.
