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.
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.
Our team of 6 battled the nettles but failed to complete the clean up of this alleyway….
We collected about a dozen bags, a sofa, chair, coffee table, mattress and assorted waste on Wednesday 21st April.
Local Residents kindly offered us thanks, hot drinks and samosas. Great to be back out with the team.
Hello All, we are ready to return in 6s for the time being…
So, from the 21st April we will meet every Wednesday at the new time of 630pm until all the restrictions are lifted in June, we will then return to fortnightly.
I need location suggestions and volunteers for the 21st and 28th April at this point to get the ball rolling again please.
Tidy Stourbridge
Due to further Covid 19 restrictions, the group cannot continue it’s good work legally for at least 4 weeks.
Tidy Stourbridge has always taken a break in the month of December for the festive season so we will review the situation again early in 2021.
Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year
The team returned to this forgotten cornwall of Buckpool on Sunday 25th October… new rubbish had appeared from 2 weeks previous and there is still more to do…
Sunday mornings litter pick at Junction Road, Stourbridge went very well and 16 bags were collected, but there is still much more to be done there.
Vodka bottles, lots of drugs equipment, a table lamp, a desk top fan, supermarket trolley minus legs and wheels were collected.
A huge length of orange workmans webbing, kids toys, sweet wrappers, biscuit packet wrappers, fast food containers, pop bottles, more vodka bottles, beer cans, pop cans, playing cards, a tent, a sleeping bag and really random things were also collected.
Thank you to Doug, Tony, Allison and Kevin, Jan and myself.
The group returned to this industrial part of Buckpool after a gap of 18 months… and we wonder why we bother.
A team of 6 started the job all over again on Sunday 11th October under bright skies and collected what they could in 90 minutes.
They will be back.
The sun was out yet again on Sunday 27th September but there was a chill in the air. Rachael, Tony, Ivor, Alison, Kevin & Gary collected endless cups and wrappers from the fast food outlets above all around The Mill Race Lane area.
It appears that none of these outlets are keeping the locality clean enough along with London & Cambridge Properties who own a lot of properties on this site.
Don’t even start us on face masks!!!
Thank you to Doug for the transportation of kit.
