Another huge clear up in Stanwell Moor at The Splash and River Colne
Residents in Stanwell Moor worked with the Water Rats and Spelthorne Litter Pickers this weekend (1st March 2025) to clear up litter in the Splash and River Colne.
The canoe was brought out as well as people in waders.
The Water Rats, part of Spelthorne Litter Pickers, helped residents clear some of the rubbish and overgrown vegetation from the Splash and the river Colne.
The youngest picker was aged five years old.
Although it is a work in progress, it was an incredible amount of litter collected. This included builders bag, two propane gas containers, lots of cans, plastic bottle, plastic bags, bed springs, scaffolding ,and even an electric scooter was pulled out of the water!
If there are any volunteers that would like help they would be most welcome.
Thanks to Cindy Sennett for the above and to Moureen Gordon for tea and coffee afterwards in Stanwell Moor Community Garden
