Town works towards plastic free status
A litter-pick held on 17 October by the town’s Greener Living group, alongside the charity Surfers Against Sewage, represents the first stage of Fordingbridge heading towards becoming officially rated as a plasticfree town. Fordingbridge Rotary helped out with a litter pick organised by Becky Albrow, of Fordingbridge Greener Living. This is a group of locally-based residents who, among other things, have organised tree-planting in the New Forest, set up and operated a recycling shed in the town, and held successful clothing exchanges.
