World Cleanup Day 2020 - Great British Spring/September Clean - Bricket Wood

2 Aspen Close,Bricket Wood,St. Albans,AL2 3UL

18 Sep 2020

23:00

Millions of people around the World will try to make the place a better place to work and live. This event is now combined with the Great British Spring Clean which should have taken place earlier in the year. Map of events: https://www.theskillmill.org/worldcleanupdaymap With COVID-19 a very real concern, our approach to litter picking has had to adapt; we can’t meet as a large group for the time being but we can still litter pick as a household or with a group of up to six people as long social distancing rules are observed. You can contact us at park_street_pickers@yahoo.co.uk if you’d like to receive our COVID-19 Safety Guidance document or if you'd like to borrow some picking equipment such as pickers, gloves, hoops or bags. Please remember to sanitise thoroughly before and after any picking activity.

If do some ‘Lone Ranger’ picking or picking as a small group and you’d like to let us know the details that would be great; if you have any pictures that you’d like to see included in our gallery that would be awesome too. #LitterHeroes, divided but united for a cleaner world! #trashtag #detrashed Our most successful day ever! The Parish Pickers turned out in force and collected 100 bags of litter from Bricket Wood, Park St, How Wood and Chiswell Green a truly amazing amout of litter!.

Test Valley Clean Up
The A3057 and A3090 are usually full of litter and the verges are only cleared infrequently - and in many places never. In the Summer it does not look so bad because of the grass - but come the Winter! A number of more minor roads are also left with litter because it would seem that Test Valley Borough Council only cares, if at all, about Andover and Romsey. The aim is to get Test Valley BC to do what it is required to do under the EPA for the district as a whole and not just the main urban areas.

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!
