Every year Reading Borough Council organizes a Rescue operation to allow people clear up the litter and dumping mess in their locality. Tilehurst Globe participates in this event and has done for many years.
Of course the weather was not with us... We could only just see the litter popping out through the snow. No, that is not the case, actually we could see the litter only too well. And of course no-one wants to see this stuff. We collected over 30 bags of rubbish from various parts of Tilehurst. But mainly, now it is all over we should give many hearty thanks indeed to all the volunteers who bravely turned out to help in such awful conditions.
All signed in volunteers are entered into a raffle with great prizes donated by local businesses. Thank you too for your donations, it is very kind of you.
As usual we have sent in our report. It is worth a read, even though it doesn't really make for good reading.
What we want now is your help, to try to lessen the eyesores. Wouldn't litter free parks and streets be wonderful.
You can help too. A form has been produced by the Reading Rescue Team where you can hightlight the spots in and around Reading that are just plain messy.
They say "We are asking groups and residents to complete a survey to identify the extent of
the litter problem in Reading. We would be grateful if you could complete this
survey via this link ".
Just do it and send it in. And if you need to send in more than one form - again just do it. It will help us all if you do.
