A big thank you to all those residents; the beavers, cubs and scouts from the 19th Purley Scout Group; the two Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown Ward Cllrs; and some members of the RRA committee who attended the litter pick on 16 November – about 35 people in total.

Litter was collected in a number of areas, and about 30 bags of rubbish were left in two locations for Veolia to collect.

The farm field opposite the shops in Mitchley Ave was particularly bad this time and the opportunity was also taken to cut back the blackberry brambles that were overhanging the footway near to the Doctor’s surgery and a danger to pedestrians, which the landowner has failed to undertake, despite the RRA asking via the Council.

Also, special thanks to Tracey from the Council, for supplying all the equipment.
