SPRING 14 Litter Picking 01

17 Debdale Road ,Northampton,NN3 2TR

21 Feb 2014

00:00

09.30 - 11.00 am Meet at Greenfield Avenue entrance to Eastfield Park Vic Smith and another local resident collected 1.5 bags of litter from Apple Tree Walk. (We didn't quite get as far as Kettering Road before we had to stop.) Not so much litter at this time of year - mainly drinks cans and bottles with a few crisp bags, sweet wrappers, etc. Disappointing to also see some gardening waste dumped in the park including plastic pots and plant trays. We really expect better from gardeners!! We hope that more people can join us next time - 7th March, meeting at Skiddaw Walk entrance at 9.30 am..

Broadstairs Town Team Ltd
We have come together to do positive things, where we can see ways we can help, to make our town even better than we already know it is. We love Broadstairs. We know that most of the people who live here do too and that visitors often fall in love with it from the moment they arrive. It's a great place. But nowhere is perfect and let's face it, if it was it would be boring. We're always thinking of new ideas of things we can do that will make a positive difference and address some of the issues and challenges our town faces. Our aim therefore : Make Broadstairs an even nicer place to work in, live in or visit.

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.
