On a damp and dismal morning it was great to see no less than 16 volunteers come along to give our parish its annual litter clean up on Saturday 20th. Over 95% of the litter was again collected from the main roads that pass through our parish with Chilton Road being particularly bad. It is a pleasure to drive those roads for a few days seeing them clean and tidy but it is unfortunate that we have so many motoring morons passing through our village who have no respect at all for our local environment and even by the time we went round to pick up the sacks on the following day there were a bottle and a beer can lying at the side of the road.
Our thanks to all the volunteers on the day and to Bob and Geoff who helped with collecting up the bags on the following day. Our thanks also to the District Council who supply all the equipment and a prompt and efficient collection and disposal service.
