Spring Clean 2012

17 Debdale Road ,Northampton,NN3 2TR

24 Mar 2012

00:00

Work will include the usual range of activities such as litter picking, removal of rubbish and trimming bushes near paths as well as some planting of wild flowers. Volunteers should meet up between the bull ring and the ponds. Tools, protective equipment and drinks will be provided but volunteers should bring their own packed lunches if required. Come for just an hour or for the whole period (10.00am to 3.00pm): it’s up to you. Whatever help you can give will be greatly appreciated. A small but dedicated team of nine adults turned out in beautiful weather to improve Eastfield Park. They concentrated their efforts this year on clearing litter and other rubbish from in and around the lake. It was disturbing to discover that, apart from the usual collection of drinks cans and fast food cartons, several bundles of leaflets advertising a pizza deliver company had been dumped in the lake. The group also planted foxgloves in one of the wooded areas..

Sopwell Litter Pickers
Hi, I'm Holly and I'm starting out litter picking to help make the area I live in cleaner and more attractive. I walk to work some days and I always marvel at how much rubbish there is, especially after bin collection days and it stays on the streets for weeks, so I wanted to do something about it! Alone but hopefully not for long, I have started picking litter in my area to make it a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone. I hope as I get more experience at this I can rally together the troops to start a regular litter picking group to help out and clean up Sopwell! If you'd be interested in joining me, you can send me an email to meet up and arrange a litter picking date. Tel. 07857 944 443 Email. Cleanupsopwell@outlook.com

Winchester Litterpickers
Winchester Litter Pickers were founded in 1995 when three people decided to do more about the litter problem in and around the City. Currently (December 2021) we have over 40 active volunteers and many more supporters. We think it is especially important to give visitors to Winchester a good impression of the City. During the summer months we tidy the Outer Close of the Cathedral daily in the late afternoon and on Monday mornings throughout the year we clear the approaches to the railways station. Twice a month on Wednesday mornings we clear suburban areas in turn, concentrating on the streets and open spaces near the local shops and in particularly bad black spots. We are very much into recycling, recovering the cans, glass and plastic bottles we collect wherever practicable. We are also keen to limit the damaging effects of plastic litter. We are a very sociable group and normally meet up for hot drinks and chats after our litter picks. We also have a very popular annual party. Anyone who would like to join us is invited to call Eddie Woodnutt on 01962 863047 or Jan Wood on 01962 853712 or email us on tidywinchester@gmail.com. You are very welcome to join any of our litter picks as a non-member, but please let us know in advance, so that we can bring along a spare litter grabber if necessary.
