@GoodGymGreenwich met @CleanUpCharlton to show the streets of SE7 a little love. One hour, three bags, a suitcase, a tripod and something-highly-suspect in a small packet later we'd tackled some patches along the Woolwich Road and discovered Covid-era detrius under the shrubbery at the back of Lidl (plenty more to do there) - three bags duly left for Royal Greenwich Council.

Another highlight was being thanked by lovely 'Lviss' - a nature-loving, eco-conscious local, fellow litter-picker, poet and Insta-influencer! Cat and Fliss now posted and tagged for posterity on @LvissDavid. Do give him a follow! #lovewhereyoulive

This week we met in Woolwich for a little river run to join ranks with Fliss and a few from the Woolwich Arsenal 5k litter picking group! It was heartening to not find too much litter but we still collected a few bags betweeen all of us. I always enjoy litter picking because it gives you the chance for a good chat.

Good work team. Next week we're joining the Camden group with a social afterwards. Sign up here.

Until next time!

A small team braved a chilly Sunday morning to support Keep Britain Tidy’s annual ‘Great British Spring Clean’.

Sadly, there’s always plenty of litter to be picked in SE7 and we tackled Anchor & Hope Lane so that those waiting for the 180/486/472 bus now have a vista of clean borders and a bit of the way round the corner along the Woolwich Road. No particularly interesting finds but we managed 8 bags between the four of us in just over an hour and hopefully Monday’s commuters will appreciate the difference!
