Wellingborough Eco Group and Wellie Wombles

This Month’s Two Hour Tidy Up takes place on Saturday 31^st May on Mill Road and in the surrounding area. We will be setting up our Recycling Station from 9:30 at the green space opposite Gordon Road, for litter picking between 10 and 12. We will be litter picking the whole road, the communal gardens and the nearby streets.

This location has been chosen by one of our Wellie Wombles. As a group we have tidied up this area as part of other local litter picks, but because we have never focused on this road there’s a lot to do. See map below for the location:

To help us and keep us safe at this and future litter picks, Wellingborough Eco Group have purchased some litter pickers, hi-vis vests and safety equipment including road signs, so everything is provided but please bring your own gloves if you can. Free cold drinks plus tea and Coffee will be available, hand sanitiser will also be available, do join us if you can, ALL WELCOME!
