NEW SKATEPARK!

 Thursday 5th September at 4:00pm saw the opening of the long awaited skatepark in Brackley. 

Luckily the weather was dry so the park was heaving with kids of many ages. Amazing BXM stunts were performed by some of the local talent and the area was enjoyed by all.


However, once the families went home, litter galore!

The council had provided two litter bins but the could not cope with the capacity of litter that was there. Most of it was plastic bottles or cans. Over the weekend we wombles collected 9 purple bin bags of rubbish.

Sunday evening, one of our chief wombles emailed the Town Council about the situation with a suggestion that a recycling bin should be put there as well as more or bigger bins.

The following morning at 8:00am we had an email back with a plan andthat afternoon 3 extra black bins and a blue recycling bin were installed!


Amazing what vigilance and team work can do. Thank you Brackley Town Council for listening to us and acting so quickly.

We shall be plugging this A LOT over the next few weeks!   A43 layby heading into Brackley from Bicester 6 hard core Wombles and in 2 hours cleared 51 bags 127 tizer Lawnmower, baby rocker, baby seat, 2 tyres, 1 wheel, lots of bags of compost, suitcase, shoes galore, a flat screen TV and dvd player ( feel like I'm on the generation game) a pair of pants (hooray!) and other assorted items of grot. Needs lots of work, it's absolutely vile!   Sad thing is, there are no end of small animal runs and holes along there living amongst a thick carpet of h

  23 Wombles, 23 bags, a scooter, a plastic liquid container and a company sign. Womble wage found!   Not the haul of last month but lots of little bits collected so it looks much tidier around Sainsbury's, the back of Sainsbury's to Paisley Pear, the Medical Centre and Turweston Road.   Thank you so much to everyone that came along today. Great work Wombles!
