Tong Walks


Val Lyon and Michael Earp regularly walk in the Summer Lane area and take great pride in this lovely part of Combe Down/Monkton Combe. Like most of us, they don’t like to see it spoiled, as it so often is, by litter. They contacted Council Cleansing Inspector Wayne Honey, who supplied them with tongs to help in the litter picks that they often do when they are out walking. These regular expeditions have now been dubbed ‘Tong Walks’. Val says that this is hardly a chore – they get much satisfaction in the job of litter picking and a sense of purpose knowing they are helping restore our area’s rural charm.
We would be happy to provide the equipment for anyone else in Combe Down who wishes to emulate Val and Michael in their area. Email or telephone us.
