This road speed sign I cleaned today was like a guessing game -- this turns out it's 40 LOL. Look MUCH better now. I make a list of things I see locally that need doing. Do you make a list like that?

Cut back bushes and cleaned this obscured sign yesterday here in Aldridge needed stepladder , clippers (which I found litter picking some years ago) cheap kitchen cleaner and a kitchen sponge scourer. Easy to do maximum results

12 bags collected today along a rural lane with no paths, a 40mph speed limit largely ignored & a very winding route. Life in my hands I collected these 12 bags, not done for 8 weeks due to illness & caring issues. Glad to tackle this nightmare, all chucked from passing vehicles

Here is a thing, a dog poo bin on a country footpath to a beauty spot. Placed here some years ago, by someone clearly motivated but now they don't come back. If I remove this mess goes on the floor I left a spare bag but who is lugging this stinking bag out of here? except me?

This messy corner leads to stairs to flats over local shops, it collects mess here and looks bad, uncared for. Quick weed and scrap, clean all around , lifts the area, makes people feel like the place is looked after. Making the community better little by little

Today I went to Walsall town centre, not been cleaning here for some months due to family issues. Today I tackled Kiddy Scribble on this shutter by a car park. Easy enough, paint on gel remover then rub off with a wire pan scourer then wash off, hard as it's been here months.

This railway bridge walkway here in Walsall is redundant as there are footpaths on a new bridge next to it. Overgrown, drug & human waste, people do still use it, a fellow volunteer cleared the weeds & mess, I painted the top grey last year, and finished it yesterday. Much Better

#litterattractslitter It doesn't matter if we collect 1 bag or 13, the more we clean the better it will be, if we can get folk to do by their houses thats a start. Here 13 bags collected in 2021 on a greenspace with gatherings & parties. And 1 bag from the area normally this year

40 bags collected today here in Walsall just on the edge of the Town centre. No need to see this in our town. Unacceptable. A carpark, couple of misused bin areas. It's been 8 weeks since I've been here due to family issues. Normally it's 2 weekly #Walsall

This took a few hours to clear away yesterday disturbing about 30 rats. At least cool weather and rain helped with the stench. The dumped bin bag from bedsits and flats is a huge issue in Walsall and all over cities in the UK

Went for a walk in the local countryside, 4 miles, litter picked a few bags mainly from the roads & car park, but best of all this field of purple Fiddleneck, Phacelia Tanacetiflora. A cover crop to improve soil, encourage insect life, when finished it will be ploughed as manure

In an area of high poverty and social problems, it's shocking how much food is thrown away. A pineapple and pasta sauce. Fruit flour bread the lot. What's wrong with them?

Busy day here in Aldridge, litter picked all morning this afternoon I repainted some utility boxes that have annoyed me for ages. This one was scribbled then painted badly in the past, so it's hopeless. New Paint looks great, sun was very bright, it looks really bright, it's not

5 bags & a broken sign collected today here in Aldridge , this all off a busy main road into the town. Both sides done end to end, glad to get this all completed this morning in the fine weather. #litterattractslitter The more we clean up the better the place will be

SORRY but this is why we litter pick - sadly yesterday, not unusually I came across a bottle with a dead mouse in, they go in after the bugs & drown. This photo I took last year, but I found one yesterday but the photo didn't come out. Bottle cans coffee cups all are bug traps.

Another one of the grubby utility boxes I painted here in Aldridge yesterday. It's dried a bit darker, these old cast iron boxes are often defunct, am new one is next to it. They get left an eyesore. Well worth doing, we don't have to live in grubby streets looking forgotten!
