From Number plates to nappies…

Felpham Parish Council is once again banging the drum, tackling litter is not just about one campaign, it is about sustained action to tackle litter and change behaviour over time and this Parish Council wants to encourage litter-picks throughout the year.

They were delighted when Felpham’s Tesco Manager Sam Page agreed for Cllr K Watson & Cllr J Wild to join them on one of their picks, Page said “by extending the area we normally pick by a further hundred yards and having additional help amounted to a wooping 8 bags of rubbish being collected” Page has now just ordered a further two sizable bins to be placed on the edge of his stores boundary to hopefully encourage less going onto the adjoining footpaths and fields.

Parish Councillor Watson says, “ A litter-pick is a really simple positive way that people who live and work in Felpham can make a difference to our wonderful village. We all have a part to play in keeping Felpham fresh, so many groups are already doing some sterling work especially with the beach picks, it makes such a difference”. 

If there was a best kept village award I’m confident some of ours could be serious contenders.
