Fishponds Litter Pick Early March

Bristol,BS16 3TN

02 Mar 2019

00:00

With February being such a short month we have moved the next litter pick to 2nd March and will probably also meet at the end of March (30th) but will confirm that nearer the time. Meeting at the Fish on its Nose scupture on the cycle track, 11am, Sat 2nd March. This month we decided to have a litter pick at the beginning and the end of the month as there are 5 Saturdays in March. At the first one we had a great turn-out of 8 people who, between us managed to collect a staggering 13 bags of recyclables (3 of them solely glass bottles) and 8 of rubbish. This was mostly from a small area between the cycle track and the section of New Station Way that leads to the Post Office collection depot. However, two of the group also went to tackle the appalling mess that reguarly collects at the top of Grove Road. Well done and thanks for your time and effort everyone!.

Falkland Road Litter Pickers
We are taking litter picking in to our own hands. We are fed up with plastic bags and rubbish littering our streets, blowing in to our gardens and spoiling our pavements. We are proud of where we live and want to encourage others to care for our streets as we do. Our vision is for a clean environment for our families and friends. We are an open group and welcome anyone to join.

Tidy Tetbury Team
The Tidy Tetbury Team aims to bring together all those who want to see Tetbury kept tidy and looking good and who are happy to help achieve this by coming out to pick up litter. At the moment, we think that the obvious areas that need tidying up from time to time are likely to be The Rec, the area by the old railway shed, Love Lane (between Tesco and The Chipping) and the path behind Hampton Stores that leads to William Romney's School. But we also think that the Tidy Tetbury Team should be there to help and join in with anyone who wants to tackle the litter problem in their part of Tetbury. Our aim is not only to keep Tetbury tidy but to have fun and make new friends as we do so. Please join us by clicking on the "Join this Group" button on the right of this webpage and we will keep you posted on future events.

n0 $#!+ $#33rw4xor
We live here and care about our neighbourhood. It is up to us to look after it and make it a nice place to live. Our ground-zero is Sheerwater Recreation Area. This is a heavily used open space which many of us enjoy using. Because it is so popular it inevitably attracts a lot of rubbish - but this is an easy, and rewarding, problem to deal with. Once we've cleaned up the park on one of our regular n0 $#!+ sessions, then we extend our reach outwards along the canal and neighbouring areas to cover as much as we can.
