Published 17 March 2025

On Saturday 15th  and Sunday 16th March a group of Volunteers from the village did a litter pick on the major roads within the Parish Boundary.

As can be seen from the photo a vast amount of rubbish was collected.

Thanks to litter pickers:

Ian & Sue Beckett, Steve Cox, Claudine & Rob Beddows, Ann Hoar, Kev Price, Louise and Madison Clarke, Ed Cross, Alison & Allan Howard, Yvonne and Pete Sheldon, Cherry & Chris Macey, Lynne & Dennis O’Dea.

Thanks also to Jack Burkinshaw who picked up the bags in his van, Cllr Richard Cox who arranged for Lichfield District Council to pick up the rubbish from outside the Village Hall on Monday (17th) morning.

The litter pick will be completed when Lichfield Litter Legends clear the A513 Armitage Road (Kings Bromley Lane) from the junction of the A515 going west next Tuesday 25th.
