Carlton to Turvey road

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! .

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.
