Throughout June, July and August we will continue with walk-ups along Ermine Stet and Risby Road. If anyone would like to help they are welcome to borrow a stick and hoop and 'adopt' a stretch of road! Just give me a call, 735439. June 2 - Risby road verges have now been trimmed and a walk up resulted in 4 sacks of litter! June 28 - in between storms, high winds and burning sunshine we have been out collecting the newly dropped litter on Risby Road, Ermine Street north and south. Each road results in 3 or 4 sacks per 2 mile stretch. It only takes an hour - a bit different to those early days of deep cleaning, last spring, when it took a whole weekend, filling 100's of sacks along the way! July 8 - Risby Road done! 6 sacks plus we collected a box filled with car parts in the week, complete with an address. It has been reported to NLC for them to take action.
July 25 and mid July - The whole of Ermine Street through Appleby as far as the level crossing south and the Winterton junction north resulted in just 6 sacks today. And 4 more from last Saturday when we did Risby Road. Things are improving!.
