We will be meeting at the gravel car park by the Lock Keeper pub, Keynsham Road between 11am and 1pm to collect as much rubbish from the side of the river as possible - please come and help if you can. B&NES council are lending us some equipment, but do bring your own gloves, litter grabber, bags if you have them. In the past we have filled the council's truck when they come to collect the rubbish afterwards, let's see if we can make them do two trips!! .

Mossley Hill
Having written to the council and asked them what they're doing about the litter in the area I thought this looked interesting. Not sure if there are any other people around Mossley Hill who aren't keen on the litter, particularly around Rose Lane but I wondered there might be enough people to do a group litter collection sometime. It's so nice to go out and find the street clean and tidy, it would be great if it happened more often.

Winsford Community Cleanup
We aim to increase social responsibility within the town. We hope that by showing pride in the town it will inspire other people and residents to take ownership of the area in which they live. We are sick of fly tipping and litter and hope to make a positive impact on the town by becoming more action orientated!
