Although April has generally been quite cold and wet members of the litter picking group have been out and about and collected a total of 15 bags of rubbish which is mostly deposited in council litter bins and collected by the local council.
However, still on the theme of litter, concerns have been raised about the possibility of plans by Notts County Council to create ‘super tips’ which could reduce the number of tips in Nottinghamshire from 12 to 3 and possibly put sites such as Hucknall under threat of closure. Fly tipping would then no doubt be substantially increased.
If anyone wishes to sign the petition against possible tip closures this can be done at change.org/p/say-no-to-the-closure-of-local-recycling-centres-in-nottinghamshire. It’s simple to do and anonymity can be maintained.
