Penfields Litterpick

Tidy Stourbridge held a Litter pick at The Ten Arches, Penfields Estate on Wednesday July 7th 2021

The team collected 7 bags and something that resembled a swing maybe.
It was the Night of the “Footballs coming Home,” hence the shorter Litter picking time.

We had a lovely New lady join our group.

So thanks to Colin, Judith, Gary, Allun, Mirella, Lucas and his Mum Becky.

The usual sweet wrappers, crisp packets, cans, plastic bags, plastic bottles, sleeping bag.

Next up is a clean up of the Parkrun Route from The Dell in Pensnett at 630pm on Thursday 15th July.

Bevan Road 2nd Attempt

The group collected all usual stuff last Wednesday 12th May from Bevan Road, around 14 bags plus a lot of plastic.

A very large paddling pool was also collected, strange that someone has gone to the trouble of dragging it into the middle of a coppice.

Bevan Road Return

Rachael, Alison, Judith, Becky and Son Lucas tackled a copse off Bevan Road, Buckpool, DY5 3TY.

10 bags, 2 Bags of glass, 1 chair, 2 window frames, 2 door frames with glass attached, 1 black puffet, 1 Christmas tree, 1 cushion were collected despite this area being cleaned up 12 months ago.

Extra Amblecote Clean up

We had an excellent litter pick around the large flats in Trinity Road on Saturday and cleared a tremendous amount of rubbish. Managing to clear so much rubbish was also due to the help Amblecote Labour had from Wollaston Labour Party Members and Tidy Stourbridge.

Most to the mess was around the back of the last block in Trinity Road.

Our team of 9 were; Doug, Ellie, Adam, Rachael, Ellen, Chris, Rachel, Nigel and Roger managing to pick over 16 bags of rubbish, a large builders bag of waste, 2 mattresses, a carpet and a load of wood. It was good to hear a lot of thanks from residents seeing all this rubbish that we collected.
