OLD SOMERBY PARISH COUNCIL - LITTER PICKING
The Grantham Road through the village up to the Roundabout is a very fast road with vehicles often reaching high speeds – accordingly great care is needed by Volunteer Litter Pickers at all times. Other roads have restricted speeds but are often exceeded.
1. ALWAYS wear a Hi Viz jacket or slip on at all times which is provided.
2. Great care is needed when and if crossing the road.
3. Never work at night or in poor daylight.
4. Litter picking bags are provided. Bags of litter can be disposed on in the
SKDC Black Bin but if you wish any cardboard etc can be disposed of in the
Purple Bin and cans/ bottles in the Grey Bin.
5. Always wear gloves and use a litter picker which is provided.
6. Any hazardous items including needles, human/animal waste should be left
in situ and reported to the Parish Clerk.
Thank you very much for volunteering.
David J Holmes
Parish Clerk.
