Report written by Tav (he/him)
The pathways around St Mary's fields and Balkerne Hill had a good chunk of litter removed tonight. The damp weather and headtorches made the glass, cans and plastic sparkle in the undergrowth...easy to spot and we also found a huge patch of litter next to Matalan car park! Colchester Retail Park should start paying us!!!
We tied one bag up and headed around Middlebrough and up Balkerne Hill to fill another. On the litter journey we found a number plate and a hub cap...perhaps by the summer we will have the rest of the car?!
Wonder if anyone recognises the number plate?
Litter blights our streets, parks and beaches and costs us millions of pounds to clear up every year. Keep Britain Tidy is here to inspire people to eliminate litter now and for future generations. This is about more than simply getting people to pick up litter. We aim to change behaviour permanently by spotlighting the problem daily and offering creative solutions. We work with people, businesses, local authorities and government to educate, innovate and inspire - improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.
