A 9 am litter pick might not be the first thing you want to do on Saturday morning. The members of Acton Litter Collective think otherwise. They gather weekly at the same spot to fight waste on the streets of the Mill Hill Park area. Today GoodGymers joined them for the 4th time and were assigned to clean up a new location: the slope of Mill Hill Road going down and Mill Hill Terrace.
On the way to that site, Sevan and Kash covered Langley Drive, which was pretty clean, and the Pocket Garden - that one had its deep pockets full of unexpected and disgusting litter! The GoodGymers fearlessly stepped into the depths of the Pocket Garden to reach its back and find stuff like two dreadful nappies, bones and soggy pieces of an outfit.
Notable findings:
an almost intact lolly ๐ญ
two full nappies ๐ผ๐ผ
a huge chunk of flatbread ๐ซ
shoes, top and jacket - sadly, no bottoms ๐๐๐งฅ

The Mill Hill Park Residentsโ Association was founded in 2004 with the aim of stopping environmental and architectural degradation in the Mill Hill Park Conservation Area. Much of its work has focused on enhancing the green spaces in Mill Hill Park and the surrounding area. Examples include distributing saplings provided by the Woodland Trust to local residents; redesigning and replanting the Crown Street Pocket Garden, and planting a community orchard in Heathfield Gardens.
