Thursday Night Out

Sheerwater,Woking,GU21 5QQ

15 Jun 2016

23:00

Regular Thursday evening nitpicking. 2 bags of rubbish collected. Bottles, cans, food wrappers, cigarette ends, only one pre-wrapped bag of doggie poo. Evidence of two evening picnics that had probably been hastily abandoned when we got a sudden downpour last night. One of them, by the solitary park bench must have disbanded in such a hurry that they left behind almost a whole crate of lager. This has gone to a good home..

Weeley Wombleys
We started as Weeley Wombleys in 2017 as so many residents had expressed their concerns about the amount of litter appearing everywhere, and we are now part of Weeley in Bloom. There are several take-aways in the area, and the detritus was mounting up so much Tendring District Council couldn\'t keep on top of it. We litter pick on the first Monday morning of the month, and there is usually a hard-core of about 15 residents who pick regularly. We also encourage residents to keep their frontages as clear of rubbish as possible and the area has seemed a lot tidier since we started. We have been into the local School wearing our home-made WeeleyWombley costumes, together with McDonalds (our Corporate partner), to encourage the primary school children to litter pick, and to take their litter home with them. McDonalds also very kindly have a member of staff litter picking around the Village practically every day, which is very much appreciated.
