'WOMBLES' OF BRIGG ASKED TO VOLUNTEER IN A COMMON CAUSE

People in Brigg are being asked to volunteer as local 'Wombles'.
Following the lead set by the furry TV series characters, they are being asked to help the environment by collecting and recycling discarded items in their part of the town.
Coun Rob Waltham, the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, told the Town Council's February meeting that 150 people had already signed up for this initiative.
He said 'kit' was available to help with the collection of materials to be placed in special bags which can be put out for emptying alongside the usual bins.
Coun Waltham asked us to assist by publicising his appeal for "the budding Wombles of Brigg" to come forward.
Details can be obtained by contacting him rob.waltham@northlincs.gov.uk or his Brigg & Wolds Ward colleagues on the North Lincolnshire authority - Couns Carl and Nigel Sherwood. 

Brigg Blog recently reported that one local resident is undertaking litter-picking in and around the Recreation Ground - some examples of discarded items at the sports venue being featured in our montage above.
