Appleby Litter-Pick!

Appleby Litter Pickers!

The Thatched Cottage,9 Paul Lane,APPLEBY,DN15 0AR

05 Mar 2011

00:00

Watch out Winterton! We are coming!! Meet at noon at the Ermine Street / Winterton Lane junction (about a mile and a half north of Appleby). We stout boots and bring your gloves. We will provide litter-sticks (we have 8) and bags. Ring Anita for full details - 735439 PHEW! 5 volunteers today - thanks to the Mayor of Winterton, Fran Fletcher, too. It really spurred me on getting her support :) 60 sacks filled 9 tyres, a lot of big and heavy items too. We estimate we collected 1.2 tons in a one mile section of Ermine Street - unbelievable. It was a tiring day, the verge slops into the hedge bottom making it really hard going. Thanks Ian, Fran, Judy, Len and Darren - you were GREAT! And thanks to innocent drinks for the refreshments - they were yummy!.

Fishponds Clean Streets
Fishponds Clean Streets was established in 2016 and is run by a few volunteers with the aim of helping keep the streets cleaner of litter. There was an extended period owing to COVID restrictions when we were not able to operate, however we are back up and running again now. We usually meet for an hour and a half on a Saturday morning once a month and always publicise our litter picks here on this page, where we also report on our activity after each litter pick. Thanks to those who joined in on Sat 5th Feb and to Rachel for coming along with her family. Between us we collected 7 sacks of rubbish and 6 of recyclables. We hope to meet again in March, so do keep an eye on this page for updates! In the meantime, if you are new to litter picking in Fishponds and interested in getting involved, please contact us at: CleanerFishponds@gmail.com for more information. Louise, Pete, Carol & Stuart

Broadstairs Town Team Ltd
We have come together to do positive things, where we can see ways we can help, to make our town even better than we already know it is. We love Broadstairs. We know that most of the people who live here do too and that visitors often fall in love with it from the moment they arrive. It's a great place. But nowhere is perfect and let's face it, if it was it would be boring. We're always thinking of new ideas of things we can do that will make a positive difference and address some of the issues and challenges our town faces. Our aim therefore : Make Broadstairs an even nicer place to work in, live in or visit.
