Twerton and Whiteway Wombles were out for the first litter pick of 2019 and were joined by a number of local residents to help clear up the area.  We collected 11 bags of rubbish from around the area.

The litter collected appeared to have largely come from recycling boxes as we noticed quite a few boxes which did not have lids. If you have a recycling box but it does not have a lid, you can get one from the Council.  This will help reduce the amount of waste that is blown around the streets in the area.

Whilst we were out we also reported the garden waste flytipping in the back lane for a 3rd time and asked that it is removed as soon as possible.  As well as asking that the water drain cover that is missing on the grass bank on Poolemead Road (opposite the Infant School) to be replaced, as there is currently a large hole that is very dangerous especially to the smaller children.

If you have similar issues in your area, please do get in touch.
