Litter Picking
Litter thrown from cars, dropped on pavements and dumped by the roadside is a constant problem in and around the village.
Recently we have organised 'Litter picks' using tools and equipment provided by Shropshire Council.
 |
The first, in March 2012, concentrated on the verges adjoining the Ellesmere Road, where five full bags of assorted rubbish were collected in a couple of hours. |
|
In May we took to the water, clearing plastic bottles, crisp packets and an assortment of footballs from the village brook. Hard work, but not a bad way to spend a sunny morning! |

Fly tipping is a particular nuisance along the Lower Road, even when bags are neatly stacked beside a bin. They spoil the appearance of a pretty stretch of country lane. |
Litter, fly tipping and other problems can be reported to the Council online, through their
