Pickmere Against Plastic clean up morning

IROS pavillion,Mere Lane,Pickmere,WA160LS

01 Jun 2019

23:00

The aim is to collect litter from around the village and tray to involve the community in moving ourselves towards a plastic free community. This is being run by PAP as part of their initiatives. Starting in the Red Lion pub who are supplying breakfast to all involved (tea, coffee, bacon and pastries) we aim to divide into teams and clean up the whole village. A really successful morning. It started with bacon and pastries at the Red Lion pub and then we divided into seven teams covering all the areas of Pickmere. About 50 volunteers attended and collected 26 bin bags of rubbish and a vacuum cleaner. Finishing off with another cut of tea at the pub. Thanks to all who got involved from Sam at the Red lion and his team to the families and friends of the village who gave up their morning to improve their village environment..

Anstey Litterpickers
Anstey Litterpickers are simply fed up with the amount of discarded McDonalds and KFC wrappers, beer cans, fag packets etc thrown out of car windows along the lovely country roads around Anstey and Charnwood. We just want to do something about it!

The WolfPack
I would like to focus on the local nature reserve. It is such a wonderful place but unfortunately trash can be found everywhere. I would like to find some wonderful people and together clean this area as it\'s not only a great place to admire nature, go for a run, a hike or walk your dog, but it is also home to a wide range of wildlife species

Village Action Litter Busters
We are part of the Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath Village Action initiative. We aim to co-ordinate the efforts of local people in promoting awareness of the problem of litter; improving attitudes; and taking part in monthly organised litter picking, with the aim of keeping our villages pleasant and pretty. We know that many residents look after the roadsides and paths adjacent to their own homes and wish to encourage this. Some of our members carry chalk to mark dog fouling on pavements, to help people avoid stepping in it and to tell irresponsible dog owners that they should be clearing up after their pet. Litter picking can be very rewarding, and is an opportunity to get out and make new contacts in the village. Please get in touch if you can help in any way, however small. Please email us if there is any particular area in the village over which you have concerns about litter. In 2012 Nisa - Village Roots in Woodend Road gave us some funds and we have bought some hi-viz vests with 'Volunteer - Village Action Litter Busters' printed on them. We are grateful for their continuing support. South Glos Council support us with sacks, picker sticks and bag hoops. See Upcoming Events for dates and meeting points for monthly litter picks. Please see our gallery below for some pictures of our members, including two younger litter busters!
