This was another great effort by the joint team of Tidy Stourbridge & Amblecote Labour Party and the hour of rain we had to endure didn’t put us off – mind you we were well kitted out.
It was another pick that needed some advance work because the storm damage had covered most of the litter up, so it was a hedge cutter and strimmer job before we could get started.
The team of Doug, Dawn, Dave, Rachael, Aidan, Ellen & Roger filled 13 of our large compactor sacks with rubbish, plus dragged out a complete trampoline, a toolbox and power drill, wheels & tyres, plastic piping, metal fencing, plastic contains, large tarpaulin, clothing etc etc. Most of this had been around for a number of years and then there was the green waste of branches and brambles which was over 6ft high and 8ft long.
Also brilliant to report that the Street Cleansing Team came along afterwards and took all this lot away and the site looked pristine. However it’s also depressing to report that there’s still at least the same again to remove at some other time further up this Penfields pathway.
