Started with 1st litter pick 18 Feb 2024, and covering from Gordon Hill Station up Lavender Hill to The Ridgeway, including Shooters Road and Albuhera Close. Offshoot from the Lancaster Road to Gordon Hill Station group. Meet at corner of Shooters Road 9.30 Sunday on monthly dates published on social media and our WhatsApp group. Equipment provided, and all welcome!
I started litter picking after a memorial litter pick for my step mother in law in Halesworth, which was great fun!
