Litter Picking-Singleton Lake

69 Brookfield Road,Ashford,TN23 4EW

28 Feb 2015

00:00

The next litter picking event will take place at the popular Singleton Lake, South Ashford. Meeting point will be by the two boulders. If you are driving you can park at the end of Bucksford Lane car park. Litter pickers, heavy duty gloves, high vis vest are provided. Hope to see of you there. Kent Wildlife Trust kindly confirmed the even will not cause disturbance to birds around the lake. As a general rule, birds will be nesting from March until middle July, so minimising disturbance in that time is helpful. However an activity like litter picking, as long as it isn’t too destructive, should only cause short time disturbance. Be aware of moving large objects (anything which birds can get inside), that may have been occupied by birds. Thank you. Keep Ashford Clean .

South Common Litter Picking Crew
I set up the group on realizing there were areas of Lincoln's South Common where litter had been accumulating for years. We have managed to get on top of this situation and are now kept busy due to litter being left around the ponds and viewpoints around the common throughout the year . Since I started picking it I've seen weasels fighting, dear, buzzards and kestrel, herron, partridge and pheasants which, for me, makes it one of the most enjoyable places to pick in Lincoln.

West Rainton Clean-up Team
The Clean-up Team is part of West Rainton Green Group, which was formed in April 2003. We aim to remove litter from paths, bridleways, road verges and other open space in the vicinity of West Rainton, thereby improving the attractiveness of the local area. The work is undertaken by members of the Green Group in their spare time. We organise about five or six events each year, and members of our team also collect litter on an individual basis from time to time when the need arises. Since the start of the project we have collected 100 - 150 bags a year, and attempt to recycle as much as possible, particularly cans and bottles. Prior to each event contact is made with Durham County Council, who provide a truck to remove all the bags that are collected. We have contributed to national and regional environmental programmes such as Community Service Volunteers 'Action Earth' campaign, City of Sunderland's 'Just Bin It' campaign, Litterfree Durham's 'Big Spring Clean' and the ENCAMS 'Big Tidy Up'. Since 2009 we have worked in partnership with Network Rail to clean up a nearby length of disused railway. As well as litter-picking we also alert Durham County Council and City of Sunderland Council to fly-tipping in the vicinity of the village as soon as it happens. Prompt removal has significantly improved the visual appeal of local lanes and paths. About 300 incidents have been reported since 2003.
