Great British Spring Clean Comes to Chiswick This Weekend
Local groups organise litterpicks across the area
There will be clean ups on Turnham Green and in Grove Park
March 24, 2023
The Great British Spring Clean Campaign (GBSC) is underway and groups across Chiswick are doing their but.
The nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign which is organised by Keep Britain Tidy runs until 2 April.
This Sunday (26 March) the usual monthly Turnham Green Litter Pick is taking place. If you want to help out meet at 2.30pm outside Christ Church Turnham Green, for about an hour of litter picking on the Green and the surrounding residential streets, then back to church by 3.30pm for tea and cake, and time to chat.
Remember to bring your own gardening/protective gloves if possible.
Jill Spencer (Local Environmental Champion) said, “I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Sunday - last month was yet another a record turnout, let’s see if we can do even better this time as part of the GBSC!”
Litter picks on Turnham Green take place on the fourth Sunday of every month except December. The remaining days this year are 26 March, 23 April, 28 May, 25 June, 23 July, 27 August, 24 September, 22 October, 26 November.
Earlier in the day the Grove Park Group is having a litter picking morning. It welcomes any volunteers to meet at the Chiswick Station forecourt opposite the Co-op at 10am for one hour of cleaning up in the area.
Bring your own gloves; litter pickers and bags will be provided, and when the pick is finished you are welcome to meet at the Grove Cafe for a free cup of coffee or tea.
Everyone is welcome to come and help out on the day
Other community clean ups have been organised across Chiswick. If you are interested in taking part in one in your neighbourhood contact Cllr Mushiso on Ron.Mushiso@hounslow.gov.uk or call 07976 702887 to find out further information.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
