There is no community litter pick this week. Admin are busy! Feel free to pick around your own area. Leave green SBC bags next to SBC bins. Other bags can go in the SB or your own bin. If that doesn’t appeal have a late start and a lazy day enjoying the sun. I’m off to Wembley!! UTB

Will be looking 👀 out for this. Currently being filmed, 12 x 30 minute documentary episodes that is hoped to highlight the litter problem in the UK. Stacy will meet with community litter groups, like ours, and hopes to encourage more people to take pride in their community.

The new series sees Stacey meeting communities who are coming together to tackle litter problems blighting their areas

A huge thank you to our lovely volunteers who helped clear lots of litter from the long path from Barwick Lane to Dere Walk and from the woods between the path and Blair Ave.

14 bags of litter reported to CFYA for collection. We also managed to reunite a resident with some valuables after her car was broken into and the items dumped in the woods.

Several folk didn’t make the photo (Julie on the other side of the camera, Pauline, Steve, Ian and Mike with his two fabulous daughters Payton & Shiloh).

Keep yours eyes peeled for details of next weeks location. Cec is in charge. Regrettably there is no cafe in the boot next week.

This weeks community litter pick....

💚💚💚Sunday 26 April, 9:30am💚💚💚

👋Meet at Myton Primary school car park to collect equipment and bags. We will be able to cross Blair Ave and cut through the copse to get to the long path and the worst of the litter.

🚘 You could also park at Tesco and walk down Barwick Lane to the start of the long footpath at the rear of Roseville Care Centre.

🧤Please bring your own gloves

😊Children always welcome with an accompanying adult

🎯Focus on the green area on the photo ie the long footpath at rear of Roseville Care Centre from the junction of Barwick Lane up to very top where it joins Port Way and crosses the beck to Dere Walk and the green space up as far as Pennydarren Way.

🚯 The worst part for litter is about 1/3 of the way down the long path from the end of both Cades Grove & Watling Road to the little foot bridge right at the bottom

➡️ Alternatively pick from home and meet us in the school car park at 10:30

♻️Bag drop next to the bin outside the leisure centre/library near the lay-by.

👍Let’s see what we can achieve in one hour.

☕️&🍪 for all volunteers at the end.

See you there.

All weather encountered by our eleven volunteers this morning. ☀️🌧️🌦️🌈🎐💨
Still managed 11 full bags and other bits and pieces, THANK YOU everyone! Freshly baked scones, (pictured especially for Matthew at Thornaby Community Litter Project 😉😂), hot drinks and biscuits served up for all our volunteers. Bags reported to CFYA & fly tipping reported to enforcement! 🥺
We try to keep our posts positive but the flytipping is getting ridiculous, cars were still pulling up and bags being added to the pile. 🤷‍♂️This is not giving to charity, it is fly tipping and is a criminal offence 👮🚓.
🚯⛔️🙅🆖🙂‍↔️We do not want to live in a rubbish tip.
Details of our next litter pick will be posted next week.
