The Rain Didn't Dampen Our Spring Clean

On a very wet morning of the first day of April, a gallant group of thirty three Romsey and District Society members and friends met at Crosfield Hall to gather pickers, TVBC sacks and hi-viz vests. It was the society’s Spring Stream Clean and Litter Pick day.

Between us all we must have collected about fifty sacks of rubbish which sadly reflects on the careless throwing away of rubbish by people, particularly around the car parks and routes adjacent to convenience shops and garages. This does emphasize the need to continue our biannual litter picking sessions and there will be one in the autumn this year. Keep a Saturday in October free and we will advise you of a date soon. The clean of the stream that runs alongside Middlebridge Street was a success with happily less litter and only the vegetation that needed to be controlled.

We finished the morning at La Parisienne – gratefully inside as we were all rather wet and bedraggled. I would like to thank all the participants who gave up their morning to support our clean up.
