An intrepid trio of litter pickers made short shrift of litter in their areas.

Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Parkwhich was glorious in the mist. Paul was in Deptfor's Brookmill Park where there was a surprisingly large amount of beer cans and bottles despite the inclement weather.

Ivar returned to last week's location by the A2 in Kidbrooke. It is clearly a litter hot spot, with dog poo bags 'decorating' trees and copious amounts of litter.

There were three of us out picking litter in Lewisham (and Greenwich) this week.

Adi welcomed a misty morning in Sydenham's Mayow Park and left the park a lot nearer to litter free before the sun finally broke through.

Ivar was on his way to volunteer at Charlton parkrun and made some big inroads into one of the paths alongside the A2 in Kidbrooke which are always pretty grim. One of his stranger 'finds' was a bag of lemons!

Paul squeezed in his regular monthly litter pick alongside the Quaggy in Kidbrooke's Sutcliffe Park, clad in wellies as the area gets quite muddy. The river had flooded since his previous visit so there was lots of muddy litter to pick up along with more golf balls than normal, presumably from the courses up stream in Bromley.

Talk about stepping up for the community! I took on a litter-picking mission along Woolwich Common, Academy Road and Herbert Road, putting my best foot forward to give these local streets a well-deserved tidy-up.

From one street to the next, I was picking up rubbish and making every step count. Every piece of litter collected was a little win for the neighbourhood and another reason to feel good about doing good.

One bag fuller, the streets a little cleaner, and my good-deed meter officially off the scale! Who knew picking up rubbish could be such a litter-ally rewarding experience, Innit? Till the next one. 😊

Another four pronged attack on litter and dumped rubbish in SE London, by our regular quartet.

Adi was in Sydenham's Mayow Park, early enough to catch the sunrise, despite not feeling great; fortunately the litterers hadn't been out in force and there wasn't a crazy amount to collect.

Cecilia fitted a litter pick in on Herbert Road in Woolwich after work, collecting a bagful with her litter picker.

Ivar did a late afternoon pick at the just outside of Sutcliffe Park, opposite McDonald’s. Among the usual wrappers for McThis and McThat, today’s catch also include a remote control and a tennis racket. He filled another bag to the brim in no time!

Paul also found some broken electrical goods - a turntable and a kettle in Deptford's Brookmill Park, amidst the cans, bottles and bits of plastic washed down by the Ravensbourne.
