Brede Scout Group: would like to offer their thanks to Adam for arranging the free kitchen units and worktop from Howdens

Many Thanks: to Alan Reynolds, Bruni Lovett, Sue Langley and David Oliver for helping me clear up litter in the Parish. We collected between 9 and 10 black sacks worth of rubbish, some picked up at the end of driveways, despite my plea asking everyone in the Parish to look in their own gardens and driveways. If everyone did this it would really help. Due to only a few of us the A28 and B2089 Udimore Road and Broadlands could not be tackled. However, Pottery Lane and from Chitcombe High woods to Goatham Lane were. I am going to ask Rother District Council to clear up the A28 Do you know we have been likened to a 3rd World Country. I was talking to someone the other day who like me cannot remember so much discarded rubbish in the past. So, what has gone wrong? I think it is a question that needs to be answered.
