This morning our Funeral Director Scott was over at our Sister branch John Drage Funeral Directors, also in Wellingborough. There he was joined by some of the wonderul members of the Wellingborough Eco Group and The Wellingborough Wombles for a 'Two Hour Tidy Up' of Croyland Park and the surrounding area.
The far from ideal conditions did nothing to deter the troops or dampen their enthusiasm and, during the 90 minutes Scott and the team were litter picking they managed to collect the following.
- 40 Bags of Rubbish
- 5 Tyres
- 2 Clothes Horses
- 1 Television
- 1 Pram
- 1 Traffic Cone
- 1 Barrier Fence
- 1 Mattress
- 1 Trolley
- 1 Office Chair
- 1 Knife
- 1 Oil Drum
Following the litter pick The Croyland Chapel offered some brief respite from the elements and those in attendance enjoyed Croissants, Pan Au Chocolate, Celebrations, Tea, Coffee and Cans of Fizzy Drink.
It really is staggering just how much rubbish people discard and equally so how much of a difference was made this morning and in such a short period of time too.
A wonderful morning (despite the weather), spent with a fantastic community of people!
