Fulbourn community Litter Pick

Fulbourn, Cambridge,CB21 5BU

21 Oct 2017

23:00

Fulbourn Autumn Community Litter Pick Sunday 22 October. Meet between 2.00 and 2.30pm outside the Fulbourn Centre, Home End, Fulbourn, Cambridge We hope that you can join us for the second village litter pick of 2017. As usual, there is a lot of litter but with plenty of volunteers we should be able to cover most of the village and get out along the numerous approach roads towards the parish boundaries. Pickers and bags (and bag holders) will be available from outside the Fulbourn Centre but please bring your own pickers if you have them. And don't forget suitable gloves and, if you have one, a hi-vis vest for when on road verges - however, we will have gloves and a few vests to borrow if necessary. If required, lifts can be provided to and from your picking area, and refreshments will be available back at the Centre between 4.00 and 5.30pm. Arrangements will be made for collection of the filled bags from the roadside - no need to carry them back.

If you cannot make the Sunday afternoon but would still like to help, contact us for the pickers and bags so that you can litter pick your chosen area in the morning or on another day - several people have been doing this recently. Although there is usually a good turnout of volunteers, a few more hands would enable more areas to be cleared of litter. We shall also be looking for a couple of volunteers (with suitable wellington boots!) able to help clear the ditch along Hinton Road. Do come and join in if you can, even for just an hour - it makes such a difference to the village .

ECOLOGISERS

Sabre Rail
Our groups main aim is to improve the local environment so that it looks cleaner and more presentable as the litter in the area is spoiling the look of where we live and work. We would like to bring together the working community of the business park in order to clean things up a bit by keeping the area litter free. We feel that this would be a great opportunity to meet some of our neighbours, get some gentle exercise and achieve something really valuable at the same time.

Bradshaw Hall Clean UP Friends
This group intends to make the areas around Bradshaw Hall Primary School an example how our public open space, roads, play grounds etc. should look like in terms of cleanliness. Currently, the area is in a relatively good condition when compared with some other areas across Greater Manchester which have been terribly affected by littering, dog fouling and fly tipping. However, there are still a lot of work to be done and a lot of mind-sets to change that it's each individual's responsibility to clean up their own mess.
