Wellingborough Eco Group & Wellie Wombles

Join us for this Month’s Two Hour Tidy Up, it takes place this Saturday (25th November) at The Embankment. Our Recycling Station will be set up from 9:30am in the car park, for litter picking between 10 and 12. We will be litter picking the park area, along the river, under The Walks trees, and in the river itself in an 18 foot Canadian Canoe!

This location has been chosen by Jonathan after being contacted by Michael who offered to join us with his canoe, and because we haven’t picked this area for ages. Litter pickers can walk or cycle safely to where we will be using The Walks path that connects this area to the Town Centre and to the wider town.

To help us and keep us safe, we have litter pickers, hi-vis vests and safety equipment including road signs, so everything is provided but please bring your own gloves if you can. Tea and coffee will also be available for free! Do join us to make this area tidier, see you on Saturday morning!
