Great British Spring Clean

Grebes Rest, Brimbelow Road,Hoveton,Hoveton/Wroxham,NR12 8UJ

03 Mar 2018

00:00

We aim to clear the verges of rubbish from St Johns Church to Letheringtons Lane Horning. Due to the snowy weather we had to postpone a week but managed to get out today 10th March 2018. We were heavily over optimistic on how far we would get. We managed just a ¼ mile stretch of the A1062 just one side. Our haul was 4 bags of rubbish and 3 bags of cans and bottles, plus some car parts, a traffic cone and a plastic drum. Much more work needed to clear this stretch of roadway..

Brighter Uckfield Campaign (BUC Up)
The Group operates under the aegis of the Town Council. Every Sunday morning, at 9.00, a small band of volunteers (open to anyone to attend) meets at the Civic Centre to conduct a 'swift-pick' in the worst-affected areas (finishing at about 11.00). The Campaign has moved onto taking small patches of public land in the town and overseeing planting out and maintenance. The town's annual beautiful gardens competition is organised by the Group. The Group joins the annual clear-up of the River Uck that flows through the town. Weeding pavements and cutting back undergrowth are also tasks that are taken on. Most of this work is concentrated on the town centre, but a network of 'litter pickers' is being gradually established on the estates around the town. Volunteers are provided with a hi-vi vest, a litter picking stick, gloves and refuse sacks - and we even have wheeled trolleys to take round with you to deal with the large amounts of litter on a Sunday morning. The Campaign has its own (Don't be a) "Mucky Duck" logo.

The picker uppers
Starting from a group of two, and hoping to grow, the mantra is 'if it's being dropped, then it needs picking up' ...we are going to fulfil this task, and hope this encourages less dropping, and more picking! If you see rubbish, don't tell us, pick it up yourself!
