Big Spring Clean - March 2015

Durham,DH7 7AG

14 Mar 2015

00:00

Litterpick around the Colliery Road, Bearpark Primary School and play area. Meet at the Primary School at 10.00 a.m. Residents of all ages from Bearpark, along with Councillors from Bearpark Parish Council armed themselves with gloves and rubbish sacks on Saturday 14 March. They collected around 50 sacks of rubbish from along the Colliery Road area of Bearpark, including the play area and local Primary School. Durham County Council provided the equipment for the litterpick which was arranged by Bearpark Parish Council to coincide with the LitterFree Durham Big Spring Clean initiative. The Parish Council often received complaints about littering in the village and the Big Spring Clean was an ideal opportunity to help raise awareness of the problem and take some positive community action.

We were delighted at the turnout and would like to thank everybody involved, especially the younger volunteers, who took real pride in helping make a small part of their village a much cleaner environment. .

Collie Collections
Currently most of the work is done by my Border Collie who collects crisp and other wrappers and plastic bottles. She then finds the nearest waste bin and puts the litter in it. She has been doing this for the past 5 years.

Erdington Litter Busters
Erdington Litter Busters was founded in June 2018 by Rob Gunnell. The idea was to start cleaning up Erdington bit by bit, then grow into a community of volunteers who could keep the area clean. Now we have some support, and a growing group of us meet up twice a month on Saturday mornings near Six Ways island, clear different areas, and have a friendly coffee afterwards. The more people that help us, the greater the difference we can make - and people are already seeing the area improving.

We are reducing the impact of micro-plastics on the diet of your children and grand-children! A Masham resident has kindly offered to pay for our group meeting coffees. Many thanks. As we go about Mashamshire we get many kind appreciations from folk that we meet.
