We will be meeting at the gravel car park by the Lock Keeper pub, Keynsham Road between 11am and 1pm to collect as much rubbish from the side of the river as possible - please come and help if you can. B&NES council are lending us some equipment, but do bring your own gloves, litter grabber, bags if you have them. In the past we have filled the council's truck when they come to collect the rubbish afterwards, let's see if we can make them do two trips!! .

Great Dunmow Grabber(s)
Living near the recreation ground and being a dog walker I usually pick up litter whilst wandering and have taken part in litter clearance events in Chelmsford. My hope is that by setting up this group I can act as a focal point for local residents in helping to maintain the beauty of this town by taking part in occasional "pick-up" events.
