Nellie - 19 November 2020

Gosport and Fareham Boroughs are fortunate to have a large group of Wombles dedicated to the seemingly never-ending task of clearing litter in their areas. In an area with beautiful beaches and miles of coastline, beach cleans are a significant feature of this voluntary work. Final Straw is an organisation devoted to helping to clean our oceans particularly of plastic. They brought Nellie to No.2 Battery West Car Park today to be met, in a small socially-distanced event, by Gosport councillors and some Wombles. The ocean-friendly fish accepts metal cans and plastic bottles (only). Councillor Graham Burgess (GBC, Lee East) is at the front of the small group in this picture.
