Serial litter picker & campaigner. No job too small 😉. Does have a life outside of litter, it's called sleep. All views are rubbish 😜. Save our NHS.

Back this morning after the bank holiday to the #Hardwick lay-by & another 81 #litter items & plaster fly-tip. Could have much been much worse. Bins full but not overflowing & accessible. This lay-by floods regularly. Supporting Stroud District Council TRUCKERS CLEANING UP BRITAIN #nature
4 lay-bys today across the A38 (3) & A419 (1) with 683 #litter items, 1 Xmas tree, 1 broken sun lounger & beers. Just another day in paradise #Gloucestershire 🫤 Supporting TRUCKERS CLEANING UP BRITAIN #nature
Voluntary #Litterpicking can be as little or as often as you like. Remember to take regular breaks & today in #LymeRegis I took in the views, a Lyme Regis Brewery #IPA #beer & some Burts Snacks. Supporting #lymeregistowncouncil Dorset Council UK
Really nothing much to report on litter route 1. The usual 300 - 400+ #littered items, 366 today many from & close to Sainsbury's. Oh, I did save a #bunny who had its head stuffed up a cardboard tube 🫤 Supporting #nature #cummunity Dursley Town Council
#SuperSix #Sunday. 6 #Gloucestershire locations, over 1,300 #litter items (388 by my partner in grime Carol). 7 hours out with #coffee & rubbish talk with Carol. Supporting #nature TRUCKERS CLEANING UP BRITAIN
What's happening? Well, I've picked over 47,000 litter items this year from my local stretch of A38 & A419—the standout lay-by is No15 with nearly 10,000 items alone.

My linear route up Kingshill Road & A4135 & back delivered up 476 #litter items. It's a popular public & school route. The bus stop has great street art but smelled of #pee around the damp patch. Supporting #nature #Community Dursley Town Council
Recycling as much of yesterday's #litter pick of 476 items. One cut-back hedge revealed decades old litter with a 25p multi-pack can of #Coke dated #April 96. I'll put that in my vintage collection with my clothes 🫤 Supporting Dursley Town Council
Bit of walk in the park tonight picking the hedges of the recreational ground with 147 litter items. Also the grot spot that is #CastleStreet car park with 117 items. Finally rocking up home with 284 in total. Supporting #natute Dursley Town Council
Tackled a fly-tip hotspot (369 items), 400m of B4008 #Gloucestershire next to #JavelinPark incinerator (761 items) & a new lay-by (181) for me. It was a bit pants today🫤. Supporting TRUCKERS CLEANING UP BRITAIN Stroud District Council #nature
Despite the bin & sign this lay-by is heavily littered & fly-tipped. Oh what to do🤔 Supporting #nature Stroud District Council
+ive fly-tipping debate & a proposal for a national strategy. Well done Deirdre Costigan MP for championing debate. Progress! A big problem in Glos. Pic of fly-tip, private land Stroud & broken window effect. Strategy for litter too, please! Simon Opher MP parliamentlive.tv/event/index/d0…
This year I've picked up just over 83,000 items of #litter from 53 public & private land locations and routes. I will pick wherever I go planned or opportunistic. Sadly it's just the tip of the iceberg. Supporting #nature Stroud District Council TRUCKERS CLEANING UP BRITAIN Keep Britain Tidy BBC South West
