Fora Autumn Litter Pick Event
“The Big Tidy Up” is a part of an initiative of the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, in which, Community groups throughout the UK tidy and spruce up their neighbourhoods.
As a part of this campaign, Forest Residents Association(FORA) organised their Autumn Litter Pick Event at the bottom of Forest Glade, behind St.Andrew’s Church. The target areas were the Forest Glade section of the Leytonstone Conservation area and adjacent areas of Epping Forest around Whipps Cross.
This was a really fun way to catch some fresh air, exercise, make new friends and help build a sense of community and neighbourhood. Pickers and latex gloves were supplied by the courtesy of “Open Spaces, City of London” who own and manage the 6000 acres of varied habitats and recreational spaces that make up Epping Forest.
Cafe’ Refresh in the adjacent St.Andrew’s Church was open to serve yummy and reasonably priced food and beverages.
Cllrs Samina Safdar and Farooq Qureshi of the Focus Team say: A big thank you to FORA and Open Spaces. Keep up the good work.
have your say
