Litter Action Ryton Krew - LARKs.

Litter Action Ryton Krew - LARKs. Litter Action Ryton Krew (LARKs) is the litter picking page of Brighten Ryton. All equipment (pickers, bags and bag rings) is provided.

The aim of the LARKs is to reduce litter and fly-tipping in the Ryton and Stella ward through community action, education and organised events. How To Get Involved - The LARKS meet every 3rd Sunday at 10.00am at a pre-arranged location in Ryton that requires particular attention. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide gloves due to hygiene reasons, so would strongly suggest you bring your own. Please contact us for more information.

The findings following last nights post exams party 😡
- broken glass bottles, on the willows and in Ferndene Park
- other bottles
- ‘normal’ litter
- a destroyed sign
- a still smouldering fire

A huge thanks to our awesome volunteers who were on standby this morning to clear the carnage we were sadly expecting. It’s disgusting we need to do this but we’re lucky to have such amazing people in the community to clear this mess.

End of exams party carnage on the willows this morning. Broken glass all over. Please do take care. Some of our incredible volunteers are going down to finish the clean up that had already began this morning.

What an absolute disgrace. We’re all for letting off steam and celebrating the end of exams. But, it is disgusting that they trash our shared spaces. The party was also in Ferndene Park. That got trashed too.

The lovely Janyce has been busy. After walking through Addison Wood yesterday and noticing how clear the woods had remained after our litter pick earlier this year, she entered Addison Industrial Estate and saw the state of the road. So being the superstar that she is she went back and picked 2 bags of rubbish 😍🤩

When the bin needs tidied up 😭 our resident superstar has been out today. He spotted a knocked over bin, sorted that then added another bag of litter he had picked. I know we all appreciate Derek a great deal but this is going above and beyond the above and beyond 🙌🙌🙌

Our resident superstar Derek has been out again. We do love when he shares the pics of his findings in our group chat but sometimes we despair 😩 We’re happy to see the burnt out bin has been replaced in Ferndene Park but were a bit shocked that Derek found litter that had previously been collected, now apparently dumped 🤷‍♀️ and there is also what appears to be a burnt out golf buggy 🤦‍♀️

This morning 7 of us returned to Crookhill and picked 11 bags of litter, 3 tyres and what we think may be an inflatable hot tub 😳 Thanks to Derek, George, David, Peter, Anne, Liz and Becky. We’ve had a lovely day for it and were reminded of the beautiful views from Hexham Old Road 😊

Derek had a lovely walk yesterday around the old village and various routes down to the river. He collected 1 bag on yesterday’s travels. If you’d like to try out litterpicking please do come along tomorrow to Crookhill Park at 10am and give it a go at Litter Pick - Hexham Old Road part 2

Dereks been out again this morning. 2 bags picked from around the bottom of the village. This legend is a machine 🙌🙌 if anyone is thinking about getting involved but isn’t sure about how to go about it, please do watch out for our group picks and come along and give it a go with a friendly group doing good for the local environment 😊
