Litter picker stick thing-GOT ONE

[siousxiesue]

Odd request maybe.

I'm really enjoying the wild planting down by Green Dale (from Townley Road) but I'm dismayed at the amount of litter!

Has anyone got a litter picker I could borrow, probably by leaving it outside your front door, as I'd like to tidy as I walk, but can't bend!

Couldn't you just buy one? They're very handy and not particularly expensive.

If someone can borrow rather than buy then do so. There is enough waste already - she is trying to get rid of it so borrowing a picker seems entirely fitting. Good on you - I pick up cans and bottles often and can say I have seen fewer of them because there has not been the footfall and the schools have been shut. Hopefully the mobile middens that pass as buses will be a lot cleaner these days.

There may be less cans and bottles discarded but the amount of PPE discarded on pavements and by kerbs is disgusting. Have see blue plastic gloves and paper face masks everywhere.

Nine times out of ten I would agree, Nigello. But it sounds like the OP might be public-spirited enough to be considering voluntary litter-picking on a more regular basis, in which case it might be unnecessarily complicated to put out a request on the EDF, or elsewhere, every time. Thanks for teaching me a new word though - 'midden'!

Just to say I've always known the area to be known as Greendale i.e. not two separate words Green Dale.

The terribly ugly flats at the top of the Greendale, off Wanley Road, next door to the Mother Goose nursery was once a thriving local pub called the Greendale.

I remember that pub! Although the spelling seems interchangeable from Google maps (Greendale) to Southwark Council (Green Dale)
