ADOPT A ROAD

 

From one of our lead wombles Sarah...
 
Just an idea.... Is there something we could do to encourage people to 'adopt a road' or area?
 
Whilst I was out hiding frogs all around town and the lake yesterday (Brackley Pebbles), I was dismayed to see how much rubbish there still was in areas I know us Wombles have already tackled, and on a regular basis in some cases. Particularly Banbury Road and Manor Road.
It struck me that we have 350+ members now, and have lots of people at the group picks, and lots of people asking when the group picks are, but what Brackley might really need (other than others not dropping it in the first place) is to adopt an area and keep it smart and litter free...
 
We at womble HQ think this is a great idea!
So claim a road/ area and every time you pop out for a walk, take a small bag to fill.

We shall be plugging this A LOT over the next few weeks!   A43 layby heading into Brackley from Bicester 6 hard core Wombles and in 2 hours cleared 51 bags 127 tizer Lawnmower, baby rocker, baby seat, 2 tyres, 1 wheel, lots of bags of compost, suitcase, shoes galore, a flat screen TV and dvd player ( feel like I'm on the generation game) a pair of pants (hooray!) and other assorted items of grot. Needs lots of work, it's absolutely vile!   Sad thing is, there are no end of small animal runs and holes along there living amongst a thick carpet of h

2ND COMMUNITY LITTER PICK

  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!
