BRACKLEY LITTER WOMBLES

This week's awards...   WOMBLE OF THE WEEK 3 year old Lucas! Who, along with his Daddy, cleared two bin bags full of grot this weekend at our community pick.   BEST LUCKY FIND OF THE WEEK Sarah Timms for the fabulous scooter under the bridge on the way to Turweston.    

Another 33 bags for this week, putting us on 57 bags in Brackley for the month so far.   227 bags Wombled in total in Brackley since we started recording our numbers (mid April) and 2 bags Wombled elsewhere.     FANTASTIC!!!

  23 Wombles, 23 bags, a scooter, a plastic liquid container and a company sign. Womble wage found!   Not the haul of last month but lots of little bits collected so it looks much tidier around Sainsbury's, the back of Sainsbury's to Paisley Pear, the Medical Centre and Turweston Road.   Thank you so much to everyone that came along today. Great work Wombles!    

  Jenni Collins and I had a great time Wombling with the cubs.   They were so keen and very determined to retrieve things behind wire fences. Some great puzzle solving and teamwork! Three bags of litter gathered this evening from the scout field and around the scout hut. They all earned their Womble badges!    

WOW ON SO MANY LEVELS! More than 600kg haul of litter was collected in just one night by West Northamptonshire Council and National Highways 's workers along a stretch of the A43 in Northamptonshire.   Read more at: https://ow.ly/ytf150OLI2Y      

  This week's awards...   WOMBLE OF THE WEEK Alessia Price for wombling whilst on a paddleboarding jolly on Warwick.    BEST LUCKY FIND OF THE WEEK Angie Grove for finding the tyre that someone had tried to "hide" at the bottom of a pedestrian walkway.    

  Just did a quick assembly at Radstone with my library n Womble n elf head on. They got a three in one. Mark Stopps was there as Year 6 have arranged for BTC to install a blue recycling bin in Poppyfields Park and it's now in! So if you are in Poppyfields Park you can now recycle cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles, card and paper in the blue bin. This is a trial area. If it works (and it doesn't end up getting contaminated) further blue bins may be installed in other areas.   Great wombling by the Year 6 at Radstone Primary School!

  This week's awards   WOMBLE OF THE WEEK Jacky Rooney Nelson for attacking the stream on Buckingham Road like a woman possessed!   BEST LUCKY FIND OF THE WEEK She's done it again... Jacky Rooney Nelson! For unearthing a soggy blanket, a bin bag full of toys and baubles, an estate agents sign ( there's still half of one buried) and 12 bottles of driver tizer from the stream!    

 We have Womble badges to give away to our mini Wombles who join us on a litter pick. They are our equivalent of a Blue Peter badge. Wear it with pride if you get one!  

  A few hard core Wombles attacked the stream at the bottom of Buckingham Road. 9 of us in total.   12 bags and loads of detritus. 12 bottles of "driver tizer"!!   Jacky and Trish both looked like two wild women of the hedgerow at the end of it.     Thank you to our mini wombles that came along and everyone else. It has now been collect by the lovely Alan.    

No Womble awards for last week as we were a bit quiet with no lucky finds.     We are expecting a bumper crop of awards for the coming week though as we are tackling the bottom of Buckingham Road.     Sweepstake on how many cones and hubcaps are found!

  Behind houses on Valley Rd...entrance to this spot via Dale Close.    Why would someone carry all this building rubble, bricks, wood, plexiglass up into the wooded area behind Dale Close and Valley Rd? How did no one see them as they would have to park on Dale Close? Or is this stuff thrown over from one of the houses? The mystery remains.    This is going to need the help of some strong Wombles when we get round to this! Watch this space
