World Clean Up Day 2019
We will be starting in Hounslow House at 10am, and walking along Bath Road to Marriott Hotel, arriving between 12.30-1pm, picking up litter along the way.
Let’s have a good turn out, make this a useful and memorable day, and be proud of achieving a good result, and also a good get-together.
Cleaner Greener Hounslow
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your interest in, and commitment to the cleaner, greener borough workshops held on the 15th and 29th June.
Following on from the connections made over the course of the two Saturday sessions, we’re supporting local neighbourhood blitzes and working with individuals who wanted to develop greening projects. In a similar vein, with the declaration of a climate emergency at Borough Council, we will also be working with interested residents to develop a climate change action plan.
As we all recall, there were a broad range of ideas and proposals put forward. There’s still lots to be done in order to see your proposals have the greatest possible impact. If we haven’t already done so, we’ll be in touch with everyone who proposed an idea or a more thought-through proposal. We will also be sharing those proposals on our social media channels, so please do take a moment to share them with your networks and get more people interested in the ideas you want to make happen in your local area.
Once again, thank you very much indeed for coming along, for engaging with the issue, and for providing such a range of passionately-argued proposals to improve the borough. Here’s to a successful ongoing collaboration!
Very best wishes,
Paul
On behalf of the Cleaner, Greener Team

Bath Road Clean Up
The hotels at Heathrow were out in force Plogging today as part of the Great British Spring Clean campaign from Keep Britain Tidy. Eager volunteers from the London Heathrow Marriott, Sheraton Skyline, Sheraton Heathrow and Heathrow Windsor Marriott walked the length of Bath Road starting at Sheraton Heathrow and finishing at the London Heathrow Marriott collecting litter along the way. They were joined by Clean Up Hounslow a volunteer organisation and together the team of 31 volunteers collected over 50 bags of rubbish along the 6.4 mile stretch of Bath Road from Hounslow to Harmondsworth. After their busy morning, the team were treated to a delicious roof top lunch prepared by the London Heathrow Marriott.

Seema Sees The Rubbish
On September 21st, our local MP for Feltham & Heston, Seema Malhotra came along for a walk about with the group to see for herself the problems that there are with excessive litter and fly-tipping in the area.
World Clean Up Day
We started at the site of the new Civic Centre near Bell Corner/Bath Road in Hounslow. We walked through to Cranford, picking up several bags of rubbish along the way. Some of the group started out from here, and a few other people joined us along the way.
It is sad, but not really surprising how much rubbish is thrown about. Much of it is the invariably single-use packaging that accompanies fast food, but cigarette packets and particularly cigarette butts play a huge part in the amount of discarded and unsightly litter.
Grass verges along many areas of the Bath Road were unsightly, particularly around bus stops and near some fast food stores.
