Litter picking on a lovely morning!

Acton residents David Johnson and Peter and Margaret Maybury chose a lovely day to try out Babergh's litter picking kit along the road that runs to the north of Ten Tree Road between Acton and the edge of Great Waldingfield. Margaret is pictured to the left sporting very fine pink wellingtons and her litter picker.

A good deal of interesting crud was found along the verge and in the ditch, including several tyres and various articles of decomposing clothing of dubious provenance. Also collected was the sign below, which dates from 2006, and which Abbots have been asked to remove on several occasions. Time to name and shame I think!



A brilliant effort by all concerned.

Incidentally this stretch of road is part of the route that Suffolk County Council claims to be safe for children to use when walking to school. Spending some time there this morning as cars and vans whizzed past did not convince me that their opinion is correct!
