SPRING 14 Litter Picking 05

17 Debdale Road ,Northampton,NN3 2TR

16 Apr 2014

23:00

10.00 - 11.30 am. Meet at the Skiddaw Walk entrance to Eastfield Park. Only Vic & Bernard collected litter on this occasion but we did manage to fill another two bags. We also carried out a few other tasks, finishing off work from the 'Spring Clean' on 12th April and in preparation for 'Easter @ Eastfield' on Easter Sunday afternoon. We forgot to post the 'Spring Clean' in advance on this site but that resulted in another 21 bags of litter collected plus an old wheelbarrow, a child's scooter, and a buggy recovered from the Lake. We also added compost to our 'Sunflower garden' in preparation for seeding on Easter Sunday , pruned epicormic growth from the trees in the Bullring and tidied up the 'Manfield steps'..

n0 $#!+ $#33rw4xor
We live here and care about our neighbourhood. It is up to us to look after it and make it a nice place to live. Our ground-zero is Sheerwater Recreation Area. This is a heavily used open space which many of us enjoy using. Because it is so popular it inevitably attracts a lot of rubbish - but this is an easy, and rewarding, problem to deal with. Once we've cleaned up the park on one of our regular n0 $#!+ sessions, then we extend our reach outwards along the canal and neighbouring areas to cover as much as we can.
