Halloween pick

Sheerwater,Woking,GU21 5QQ

28 Oct 2017

23:00

Litter pick around Sheerwater. Two bags of litter collected from the area around the Recreation Ground. I was dismayed to watch a car drive off in Devonshire Avenue at around midday, leaving a pool of litter around it. I wasn't paying attention until after the car left, but the occupant clearly wend round the car dumping out all the plastic bottles and food wrappers that had accumulated. I'll be keeping an eye open for next time this chap is in the are. Apart from this one chap, the whole area is looking pretty clean and tidy these days. .

Durham Coast
Durham's coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of magnesian limestone coastal grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. Most of the coast is now designated as a National Nature Reserve with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The England Coast Path runs through the area and is becoming evermore popular with visitors. The beaches are improving after the impact of coal mining and coastal towns such as Seaham have seen a dramatic increase in tourism. The beaches still suffer from litter and are regularly cleaned by groups of keen volunteers. If you would like to join in please see the upcoming event section for more details. We can support groups who want to carry out their own event by supplying equipment (bags, litterpickers, gloves etc) and organising the safe collection and disposal of the rubbish bags after the event. Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested.
