Thame has a proud history of litter picking with 'Thame Tidy' events and the creation of Thame Wombles. Although both of these have come to an end the litter picking effort has not! Thame now hosts monthly litter picks organised by Thame Rotary; has several Duke of Edinburgh volunteers who you can often spot out and about; businesses who host their own litter picking events and of course our litter picking resident heroes who regularly take to the street to clear up the litter on a regular basis.
To keep track of where is being litter picked we have the map above. This allows future events to be focused on areas that are not currently being litter picked. However, we are sure that there are details missing. So if you know of areas that are regularly being cleared of litter the please let us know by sharing detail of the areas you litter pick on the day you do it on either the 'Thame Litter Pickers' Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/878324296273643 the Thame Green Living website - https://thamegreenliving.org.uk/tgl-project/litter-picking-in-thame/
If you are not involved in litter picking, but want to be, then head to the Thame Green Living page above for more information about how to go about it. Then choose one of the white roads on the map above and get out there.
Or if you want to be more social, then why not join in on one of the Thame Rotary Litter Picking activities instead. https://thame-rotary.org/ |

| | In an eye-catching spectacle on Friday 20th March, Thame streets were lit up as the Glow Ride passed by: 30 bike riders, bedecked with fairy lights, joined together to support the long-awaited Greenway and ask for consideration of all potential riders in its design, noting the historically low number of women and girls cycling generally. Please, broadcast your support! Please "like", share and comment on the social media coverage, which includes superb video from a drone, here. |
