Carlton to Turvey road

The Green Army

18 meadway,Harrold,Bedford,Mk437dr

25 Mar 2018

00:00

Meet at 1.45pm war memorial gardens in Carlton. Event to last approx. 1.5 to 2 hours. Litter to be collected from verges and hedgerows along this road, starting from Carlton and returning in opposite direction to finish back at start point. Members only of The Green Army volunteering group. If you wish to join us please contact group co-ordinator whose details are on this page. Thank you. We were blessed with a perfect Spring day for our first group event. There were 7 of us altogether and we successfully cleared the Turvey Road, collecting a whopping 25 large sacks of litter, and in addition 64 glass bottles! It did take us four hours which was much longer than anticipated and we were all rather worn out at the end! A little shorter in duration next time I think we would all agree! .

Weeley Wombleys
We started as Weeley Wombleys in 2017 as so many residents had expressed their concerns about the amount of litter appearing everywhere, and we are now part of Weeley in Bloom. There are several take-aways in the area, and the detritus was mounting up so much Tendring District Council couldn\'t keep on top of it. We litter pick on the first Monday morning of the month, and there is usually a hard-core of about 15 residents who pick regularly. We also encourage residents to keep their frontages as clear of rubbish as possible and the area has seemed a lot tidier since we started. We have been into the local School wearing our home-made WeeleyWombley costumes, together with McDonalds (our Corporate partner), to encourage the primary school children to litter pick, and to take their litter home with them. McDonalds also very kindly have a member of staff litter picking around the Village practically every day, which is very much appreciated.
