St Andrew’s School Big Litter Pick

15 Blundell's Avenue,Tiverton ,EX16 4DL

03 Feb 2012

00:00

TVLP members are going to give support to the school in holding their first LP in Cullompton, to give the St Andrew’s Estate a Spring-clean feel. St Andrew’s School Council decided to demonstrate that they are good citizens of their local community. On Friday 3rd February, they cleared the hedgerows and shrubberies of winter litter, in order to give plants and animals a good start to Spring, and to give the St Andrew’s Estate a Spring-clean feel. 30 children of all ages represented the school, supported by some of the Tiverton Volunteer Litter Pickers. Conditions on the day were ideal – cold and dry, and within an hour, eight bags of litter had been gathered. The children learned a valuable lesson about the range of materials that do not decompose and those that pose a potential danger to wildlife and to children playing outside. .

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!
