Found: Grey Specsavers Case & Glasses! 👓
Along with collecting litter at our Autumn Tidy-Up earlier this month, we also picked up someone's missing spectacles! A grey felt Specsavers case containing a pair of glasses was found during the pick. Are they yours, or do you know who might have lost them? Help us reunite them with their owner!

Losses aside, the day was an overwhelming success! While we reported several instances of sneaky fly-tipping along our village roads and cleared up endless cans, bottles, and cigarette packets, the real highlight was the incredible community spirit on display.

40 participants, 16 new faces, 2 wheelie bins full to overflowing (and then some!), and a beautiful afternoon spent in good company with like-minded people!

A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their afternoon to help keep Windlesham beautiful, and to Fieldhouse Coffee for giving many of our volunteers a coffee afterwards!

Read more about the pick, and see the pics on our website. Save the date for our next litter pick on 6th March!

👉 If you think the glasses are yours, get in touch!

40 volunteers, overflowing bins, and community pride! Read the Windlesham Society autumn litter pick roundup, claim lost glasses, and save the date for 6th March.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON VILLAGE HGV TRAFFIC!

HGVs cutting through Updown Hill, ignoring the 7.5t weight limit has been an ongoing issue.

Surrey County Council is running a consultation seeking our views on traffic enforcement cameras on Updown Hill. This gives us a direct opportunity to influence some action.

⚠️ We don't know how long this survey will be available, so ask as many Windlesham residents as possible to respond today. It takes less than two minutes.

Please take a moment to complete it and share this post with your neighbours!

Have your say now:

From a letter of frustration to a village tradition!

When local resident George got tired of seeing litter along our roadsides, his wife Bev suggested turning that annoyance into action. One letter to the Windlesham Society later, our bi-annual village litter pick was born!

Now, we’re gearing up for our next Litter Pick on Saturday, 5th September at 13:45, and we’d love for you to join us.

If you can spare just an hour, every pair of hands helps keep Windlesham beautiful. All equipment (litter pickers, gloves, high-vis) is provided! Though if you have an equipment, please bring it, it's a big help.

📖 Read the full story of how the litter pick began and find all the event details on our blog: https://www.windleshamsociety.co.uk/society-updates/how-a-letter-of-frustration-became-a-village-tradition
