Litter Pick & Childrens play area

Cllr Gerry Curran joined children from St Michael's Junior School on a litter pick in Carr's Woodland off of Walwyn Close Twerton on Monday 18th March.

Gerry Said: "The area was full of litter and it was great to have the children along to help us adults clear up, It is a shame that people can not take their litter home with them instead of dropping it where they are stood".

There was also a lot of fly tipping that had taken place in the woodland area that has been removed with help of the councils waste department.

After an hour of litter picking the Children went onto a new woodland play area created by the councils parks department, in which the natural elements are put to good use such as fallen trees and tree stumps.

"We hope that the Children have as much fun using the new play areas as we had looking around them".



The areas above and to the left hand side are the new play area's created for children from natural materials.

The play area can be accessed from Walwyn close by entering the woodland trail and following it 300 yards, It can also be accessed from the Woodland trail from Pennyquick View with a slightly shorter walk.
