The Appleby Litter-Pickers are meeting up with volunteers from Broughton (who are also registered with Litter Action) to clean the road between the two communities, a heavily littered 3 mile stretch of busy main road. The Appleby Group have equipment for 10 volunteers. If you wish to join us and help make a difference, please contact Anita (735439) to book your litter-stick, bag hoop and high vis jacket. I estimate we will fill 100 sacks! We will need at least 8 volunteers to complete the road in one session. Meet at 11am at the Appleby Woods entrance. When the safety issues have been discussed and equipment dished out, we will probably split into 2 groups with some of us starting at Appleby Woods and some starting near Broughton Cemetery, and meeting somewhere in the middle! These are outline arrangements subject to confirmation nearer the time.
50 sacks of litter, 16 tyres and a complete bumper in a short half mile stretch from Broughton through the woods today! Thanks to Cath, Tim, Ian . . . and me! That bit of road looks beautiful now!.

These groups are near to you in case you want to contact them for advice, to offer them support or, for example, to share equipment with them.
Here at CleanupUK, we want to help you to take LitterAction! Wherever you live in the UK, forming your own community litter-picking group will help to keep your community safer, more friendly and free of litter. It’s lots of fun too. Why not muck in and join us?
