Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Sarah Hornsey
After supping up the last dregs of our post parkrun coffee's 3 GoodGymers set off on their monthly litter pick around Charlton Park. Lynn and Sarah as a team of two see off in a clockwise direction around the park, whereas Linda, as a team of one, went off in an anti-clockwise direction.
Well, with summer well on it's way, and the nights getting lighter it means more people in the park drinking, eating and generally hanging around. Unfortunately, this means more litter is dropped such as empty beer cans and discarded fast-food containers.
Maybe the park could do with a few more bins especially at the back-end of the park towards Cemetery lane. That always seem to be the worse corner for rubbish!
After a good hour of litter picking we headed back to the coffee shop and dropped off our black bags full of rubbish. A quick pit stop for a photo and we set off on our walk home. Good job done all round! 👍☺️
