Village Clean Up 24th Mar 2024
Unusually it was a fine dry morning for the annual litter pick organised by the RA in conjunction with Wokingham and the Keep Britain Tidy’s Spring Clean.
It was great to see so many residents of our two wonderful hamlets take part and wanting to ensure we all live in a rubbish free area. It was also heartening to have so many families help out, from the very, very young to the older children and occasionally even some canine assistance or possibly hindrance.
All areas were covered by the volunteers. Bowsey Hill, along Highfield Road, down to Rose Lane, around the Green, Kentons and Worleys Lane and then on through Crazies Hill down to Hennerton.
​
The good news was that the amount of litter found was down on last year which was down on the year before that. That is a testament to the good work carried out by residents throughout the year. Although the overall amount of rubbish was down, we did have a couple of rather large unusually items. A bumper and the complete covering from the underside of a car. What happened to the rest of the car in unknown. The rubbish was left in the bus shelter and was picked up by Wokingham who provide an extra waste collection on these occasions.
