BRACKLEY LITTER WOMBLES

 

  Our last group Womble for 2024 will be on Wednesday 18th December 9:00-10:15ish meet at Sainsbury's.   This will be followed by mince pies etc at Brackley Care Home where we'll celebrate Christmas with our vintage Wombles!   We have collected over 1,500 bags of litter in 2024! Great work team!!

 

  Brackley Litter Wombles attacking the A43 laybys! We started on the little laybys along the Brackley bypass today.   We laughingly thought we'd be able to do a couple! We started on the one nearest the BP roundabout... They are appalling!!   Today's haul was 36 bags, 69 tizer. Plus hangers, wire, tyres, a lovely pair of silver dance shoes, bags of earth??!!, roof tiles, a Henry Hoover and more. A real Generation Game of assorted detritus. Plenty more to do in just this one layby.   Thank you to Jackie, Trish, David , Gail and Dawn who took part in this full workout. We need to return!    

 Last month we hit our 2,000th bag of rubbish and we're still collecting more! Amazing amount of rubbish and we still get people ask why we do it. We do it because it's the right thing to do!

 After our great haul last week we are visiting the snack van layby this Thursday (12th September) to see what we can clear from there. There were 7 of us last week and we cleared our favourite one on the A43 heading into Brackley  It gave us... 30 bags 71 tizer Random items included... Brush dog bowl Kitchen worktops.
