Tidier Faringdon

Posted on April 7, 2018

HUGE WELL DONE AND THANK YOU to all 75 of our wonderful residents that joined us for today’s community litter pick!!! INCREDIBLE!! Each person did on average 2 hours of litter picking that is 150 man, woman and child hours and we hope you agree it’s made a massive difference!

Special thanks to Gary Jackson one of the Tidy Team heroes, Keith Skelton our tidy team volunteer, Zoe Bruce and her team of Spring Cleaners, Cllrs Cane, Wise, Barron and Wright, all the children. Everyone was AMAZING!!

We thought you’d like to hear some of the weirdest things our litter pickers found (in no particular order)
9p
Half a toy cow
Half a traffic cone
A tent
A wheelbarrow wheel
A scooter
100’s of bags of poo (please pick it up as you go folks!!)
A man’s coat
A big red sock
A large electrical Christmas decoration
A tiny pink hat big enough for a fairy
An FCC tie
18 painted rocks #faringdonrocks
100’s of rubber gloves
3 foam balls
An unopened can of beer
A dead Hedgehog
and a…………………
stainless steel bbq!

Our truck is full to bursting and the litter will be collected by #VWHDCnext week. Huge thanks to the officers at the vale who assist with organisation of equipment and collection – you are great.

Faringdon you did really well

Many thanks from all of us at Faringdon Town Council
