This shockingly wet weather was never going to dampen our high spirits today - not a chance!
8 wet wombles ventured out from Countesthorpe picking litter the whole way along to Peatling Magna.

@hambletonwomble We found this one with cork inside and estimated to be from 1920’s

What I thought would be a quick maintenance litter pick turned out to be quite a messy one. Dry ditches revealing lots of stuff not previously seen since it was chucked in.
6 bags, 5 of rubbish plus one of recycling @CleanStreetsApp @BlabyDC #wombles #litterpicking

After breaking the back of this arduous & busy stretch of road on our previous picks, today we finally reached the end. 5 bags of litter collected, plus a fence panel, added to our previous total of 88 bags which brings us to the grand total of 93 @CleanStreetsApp @BlabyDC

This location has been the hub for our weekly@litter collections on Foston Road so we thought the sign deserved a make over #allcleannow @CleanStreetsApp @BlabyDC
