Litter Pick Sunday 22 October
Thank you to everyone who helped with Fulbourn Forum’s second litter pick this year. 41 people, including several children, were involved on the day filling over 60 large plastic sacks (see picture), collecting many larger items as well, and providing refreshments after the event.
This makes such a huge difference to the village. Thanks also to the many people who pick up pieces of litter throughout the year either outside their homes or as they are walking or cycling around the village. Yes, it keeps coming back, largely thrown from cars it seems, especially along the approach roads, but if we want to maintain a pleasant environment, there seems to be no alternative. More volunteers are always very useful, so look out for the posters next year – the next pick is likely to be Sunday 8 April 2018.

Fulbourn Community Litter Pick Sunday 22 October
Sunday 22 October. Meet between 2.00 and 2.30pm outside the Fulbourn Centre
We hope that you can join us for the second village litter pick of 2017. As usual, there is a lot of litter but with plenty of volunteers we should be able to cover most of the village and get out along the numerous approach roads towards the parish boundaries. Pickers and bags (and bag holders) will be available from outside the Fulbourn Centre but please bring your own pickers if you have them. And don’t forget suitable gloves and, if you have one, a hi-vis vest for when on road verges – however, we will have gloves and a few vests to borrow if necessary.
If required, lifts can be provided to and from your picking area, and refreshments will be available back at the Centre between 4.00 and 5.30pm. Arrangements will be made for collection of the filled bags from the roadside – no need to carry them back.
If you cannot make the Sunday afternoon but would still like to help, contact us for the pickers and bags so that you can litter pick your chosen area in the morning or on another day – several people have been doing this recently.
Although there is usually a good turnout of volunteers, a few more hands would enable more areas to be cleared of litter. We shall also be looking for a couple of volunteers (with suitable wellington boots!) able to help clear the ditch along Hinton Road. Do come and join in if you can, even for just an hour – it makes such a difference to the village
