Report

Stamford Bridge,YO41 1DL

02 May 2010

23:00

Yesterday was cold and threatened rain on more than one occasion but thankfully it kept dry for our litter picking morning. Liz and I cleared rubbish from under the viaduct once again (bit of a hot spot) and followed the river down to Low Catton. We were stopped a couple of times by dog walkers and drivers passing by who offered support and hopes of joining us next month. We desperately need more volunteers even if it's just for half an hour. Big thanks to Liz for helping clear a popular stretch of the river bank this month, Liz can be seen on our front page sporting our new 'Stop The Drop' high viz vests..

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.
