Covid: the #laybylitterpick is not over.
Sadly, we had to pause the #laybylitterpick project just as it was really gaining momentum because of high levels of human excrement in the laybys. Summer 2020 was massively busy all around the NC500 route – this, combined with the trend for ‘wild camping,’ resulted in a level of widespread roadside fouling that made it unsafe for the children to do the work. We plan to resume clearing the plastic from our laybys just as soon as these issues have been addressed.
