THANK YOU!

 

Brackley Litter Wombles Tesco blue token money
 
We were so grateful that the people of Brackley supported us with the Tesco blue tokens and now we've spent a chunk of it, we'll let you know how it's being spent.
 
We have bought..
 
* More hi Viz vests (vital as lots have grown legs and we have new people joining us all the time,)
* More bag rings
* Arm protectors ( for summer hedge diving)
* Litter pickers for school visits
* Litter pickers for Turweston Scouts group
* Litter pickers for our vintage Wombles at Brackley Care Home
* Sets of gloves for Brackley 5th and Turweston scout groups
* 4 x 50 litre bins for Top Station car park
* Branded bum bags for our regular Wombles
 
We've also got a few tote bags to sell and we are trialling cigarette butt pouches to see if they are worth promoting/ selling as part of our "war on cigarette ends"

IT'S A MAMMOTH JOB....

 ... but we are taking it on! The lay-by as you enter Brackley from the Bicester side before the Evenley roundabout is by far the worst thing we have seen! So much litter, mounds of it. We barely touched the sides on our first attack. It was really hard core and is the reason why we need our lovely 400+ group members to look after the roads in Brackley so us weekly hard core members can do filthy areas like the layby we started today. 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 carpe...

Mini Layby

  Brackley Litter Wombles attacking the A43 laybys! We started on the little laybys along the Brackley bypass today.   We laughingly thought we'd be able to do a couple! We started on the one nearest the BP roundabout... They are appalling!!   Today's haul was 36 bags, 69 tizer. Plus hangers, wire, tyres, a lovely pair of silver dance shoes, bags of earth??!!, roof tiles, a Henry Hoover and more. A real Generation Game of assorted detritus. Plenty more to do in just this one layby.   Thank you to Jackie, Trish, David , Gail and Dawn who took part in this full workout. We need to return!
