Appleby Litter-Pick - Walk-up!

Appleby Litter Pickers!

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

22 Apr 2011

23:00

Every couple of weeks we will spend 2 hours each weekend going over the 3 roads into the village - Ermine Street North and South, and Risby Road. Now these verges have been thoroughly 'deep cleaned' we expect the new litter will fit into a couple of sacks per lane. If you would like to help with the 'walk ups' please contact me (Anita, 735439). Your help would be very gratefully received! The next big litter picks will start again in Autumn, cleaning the verges after the lush growth of summer has finished. Wlak-ups are continuing on a regular, almost daily, basis. We are covering Ermine Street north and south, around 2 to 3 miles in each direction, as well as Risby Road. If you are local (Appleby, North Lincs) and would like to help us please contact me (Anita: 735439). Thanks!.

Clean Up Devizes Squad
CUDS was formed primarily to litter pick around our town and its environs. We do so about 4 times a month for 2 hours each time and then have a cup of tea and the all-important biscuits. We also strip useless bits of turf off areas, dig over, plant bulbs and sow wildflower seeds which we maintain on 2 roundabouts and various other places. At present we have about 28 members. We are not a charity - we are funded by grants for which I apply and have back-up from Dervizes Town Council's Park and Open Spaces team when we can't shift all the stuff we have collected ourselves. When we started over 3 years ago, we were viewed with some suspicion - as in 'Are you all doing Community Payback?' and so forth - interesting to think that a great group of oldies would be doing that! Now, in our bright blue hivis vests emblazed with CUDS on the back, nearly everybody knows who we are - and if they don't, they must have been asleep. We work with local groups - Beavers, the Canoe Club, The Lions at their Fair and recently with The Fulltone Orchestra at their free event in the Market Place. We are also planning our reward - apart from cake, which we have before our summer and Christmas breaks. This time we are going on a day out to visit various gardens in Somerset - it's great to be sociable and many have made firm friends within our group.
