We hope that you might join a litter-picking event on Sunday 17th March, starting at 10.30 am at The Gallops, on Nevill Road between Lewes Prison and Victoria Hospital and collecting litter by various routes to finish at Cliffe High Street. The starting point is marked by a blue cross on the map below (or use What3Words sobs.handy.double).
If you are part of another litter-picking group, for example, in Malling, Landport, or Nevill, or if you go out litter-picking as a group of family or friends during the Great British Spring Clean between 15th and 31st March, it would be great if you could send us photographs and let us know how many bags of rubbish you collected so that we can count up a Lewes total!
Keep Britain Tidy have a Great Big School Clean as part of the campaign, so we are writing to schools to encourage them to take part too!
We will have some spare litter picking equipment to share when we meet at The Gallops. If you would like to set up your own event you may get litter pickers and bags from: Litter Picking – Lewes and Eastbourne Councils (lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk)
Starting point for the Litter Pick on 17 March at the Gallops, Nevill Road, marked with a blue cross.
