Thank you to the 17 litter heroes who took part in our Two Hour Tidy Up at a very windy Dale End Park this morning. Together we picked 47 bags full of litter, a chair, a road works barrier and cycle handlebars from around the field and surrounding roads.
Thank you to Rachel and Tim, Freddie and Georgina, Peter and Trina, Caroline, Glen and Hazel, Bob and Gill, Sian, Kate, Jess, Sue, Judy and Jonathan. Thank you also to Adrian and Sue, leaders of St Marks Scouts, Queenway, for opening up the Scouts HQ to make us all a cup of tea!
We set up with our Recycling Station at 9:30 near the Scout Hut at the Croyland Road entrance to the park, for litter picking between 10 and 12. This was the first time we have litter picked this area.
Members of Wellie Wombles and Wellingborough Eco Group spent most of the time around the overgrown areas around the field picking up litter that has been there for years. The hope is now that we have cleared the majority of it individual Wellie Wombles and Scouts can keep it tidy.
Next month’s Two Hour Tidy Up will be on Saturday 26th February from 10-12 at a location to be decided in need to TLC, if you have any suggestions please do let us know via info@wellingboroughecogroup.org.uk
