Knowberry WI

KNOWBURY WI joined forces with Caynham and Ashford WI to clear litter on the roadside between their villages. With signs along the five mile stretch, the WI-men at work donned their high viz vests and collected 36 bags of litter and other indescribable items. Organiser, Annie Felix, pictured being dwarfed by the bags said, "Most people around here are very conscientious about recycling but the boxes provided for collection for this district are most unsuitable. The majority of the rubbish we collected had been blown out of or dropped from the boxes on collection days." Annie intends to contact the council and suggest they provide either an alternative bin or some sort of lid to prevent this happening in the future.
