An intrepid group of litter pickers from Tadworth are winning praise for their dedication in tidying up in their communities and nearby greenspaces. The Tadworth, Kingswood, Walton and Burgh Heath Litter Pickers, AKA Clean Up Tadworth, recently posted images that attracted attention from regional media and political figures alike after they showed rubbish strewn over green spaces near the Kingswood recycling centre. As well as the indignation and anger the images prompted online came a proactive response as volunteers with the group came together and did what they do on a regular basis, clearing the rubbish without a second thought.
A group of volunteers in Tadworth have won praise for their efforts after collecting over 1,000 bags of litter in their community. Surrey and Banstead councillors described the efforts of Clean Up Tadworth as amazing and fantastic last week after the group clocked up over 1,000 bags collected from the streets in six months. The Clean Up Tadworth volunteer group was founded by resident Alison Goddon back in August 2020 after she noticed a rise in littering during lockdown, and has grown in size and impact ever since. The group now boasts over 400 Facebook members and regularly sees 50 litter pickers keep Tadworth, Kingswood, Lower Kingswood, Walton on the Hill and Burgh Heath as free from litter as they can.
