Valentine Litter Pick

17 Danesbury Park,North Ride,Welwyn,AL6 9SA

14 Feb 2016

00:00

Come out and pick litter with your loved one on Valentine's Day! Meet at 11am in the car park opposite the Doctor's surgery in Welwyn where you can collect bags and litter pickers (if required - please let me know in advance if you need a litter picker). Here are the dates hereafter: March 13, April 10, May 8, June 12, July 10, August 14, September 11, October 9, November 13, December 11. What a lovely day to go out picking. Thanks to everyone who came to help and also who sat for the photo! It should appear on the home page. Amongst other things I picked 217 (yep, I counted them) plastic gloves blown over into the undergrowth from the M&S petrol station (they will be getting a letter) and (yuck) about 40 full dog poo bags someone had thrown into the very prickly bushes. Honestly. Hope you all had a good time, let me know where the bags are and see you at the next one on Sunday March 13. .

Whitehead Wombles
Whitehead Wombles are a small group of people from the town of Whitehead who got fed up looking at the amount of litter on our streets and hedgerows and decided to do something about it. We only have a few members but we are committed to keeping the level of litter in the town to a minimum and hope that people will see us and think twice about dropping their litter. We are supplied with bags, gloves and pickers by our local council and last Oct we won an award for our coastal care work. Our aim is to educate people in the detrimental effects of littering and to work with as many groups within the town to co ordinate our efforts. We had a community clean up on Sunday 18th Sept 2011as part of the national Beach watch Weekend and received support of local groups and churches so for one day at least we had a litter free town. We lifted over 30 bags and had forty people of all ages turn out to help. This proved so successful that many of those involved wanted to run it on a quarterly basis so we'll see what we can do If anyone wants to set up a group and needs advice then contact us or follow our progress at the Brighter Whitehead site.
