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!
a couple of hot spots filled multiple bags; several bags were from solo picks before today. Also 8 large nitrous oxide canisters, 3 ruined umbrellas and some long lengths of plastic. One of the team loaded her bags into her car to drop off at the pick up point, and was spoken to by a passing Council person who thought she was fly tipping! All sorted out easily though 😂

A great job by the 8 who turned up in what turned out to be perfect conditions for the last litter pick of the year! As well as the 20 bags, 1 nitrous oxide canister, 1 old brolly, 1 old mop, 1 plastic box 1 sapling post and a firework launch tube were collected.
It was particularly heartwarming to have 3 visitors from MCGI church in the Southfields area in Wandsworth, who drove up to Enfield to gain experience and learn the ropes, with the intention of setting up their own group in South London.
