There are an increasing number of shopping trollies in or around Walters Farm Road. I've counted at least 10 in the river and many more seemingly abandoned nearby.
The cost of each trolly is between £100-£200 but the supermarkets do little to protect their property, and that, albeit in a small way, contributes to the ever rising cost of shopping.

It's getting round to that time of year when the river levels are lowered to do essential work on lock gates and bridges normally not visible with a full river.
Needless to say, there will be some effort required by volunteers to assist those in charge of proceedings.
Last year, there were nearly 40 shopping trollies removed from the Tonbridge area, thankfully, there are currently far less visible, butI'll try to remove those as and when the levels are lowered.

I helped remove 16 shopping trollies from the stretch this morning. Sadly, out of around 40 volunteers, only a couple were prepared to get in the water despite 15 or so being supplied with waders.
The eyesore which blights our urban waterways, were taken along with more debris, by the Environment Agency with Tonbridge & Malling Council.
The next event is planned for Thursday April 4th - Details to follow.
This was organised by the Medway Valley Countryside Partnership in association with the E.A.
