1st South Woodford Society Litterpick 11am South Woodford Station Over 30 members of the South Woodford Society and members of the public came along to help clean up South Woodford on Sunday 13th May. We met at the station and split into three groups who litterpicked along sections of Pulteney Way, Chigwell Road, Hermon Hill, Charlies Browns Roundabout, George Lane, including flowerbeds opposite The Shubberies and outside M&S. We collected over 20 bags of litter and another 5 which were recycled. It was a surprising fun morning, full of good weather, community spirit and a real sense of achievement! Special thanks to our young volunteers who seemed to have the energy to go on all day! Main bugbear are cigarette ends - just stop the drop!.

Village Action Litter Busters
We are part of the Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath Village Action initiative. We aim to co-ordinate the efforts of local people in promoting awareness of the problem of litter; improving attitudes; and taking part in monthly organised litter picking, with the aim of keeping our villages pleasant and pretty. We know that many residents look after the roadsides and paths adjacent to their own homes and wish to encourage this. Some of our members carry chalk to mark dog fouling on pavements, to help people avoid stepping in it and to tell irresponsible dog owners that they should be clearing up after their pet. Litter picking can be very rewarding, and is an opportunity to get out and make new contacts in the village. Please get in touch if you can help in any way, however small. Please email us if there is any particular area in the village over which you have concerns about litter. In 2012 Nisa - Village Roots in Woodend Road gave us some funds and we have bought some hi-viz vests with 'Volunteer - Village Action Litter Busters' printed on them. We are grateful for their continuing support. South Glos Council support us with sacks, picker sticks and bag hoops. See Upcoming Events for dates and meeting points for monthly litter picks. Please see our gallery below for some pictures of our members, including two younger litter busters!
