Wedmore - Plastic Bag Free
In 2008, we are hoping to make Wedmore a plastic bag free village. The campaign is in its early stages and more information will become available on this page. However in the meantime, if you would like to know more then please contact Liz or Nina in the contacts page with your question or offer of help.
Members of Wedmore Green group have been visiting shops in Wedmore to find out if local traders would be willing to stop giving out free plastic shopping bags. So far the response has been very positive and the plan to make Wedmore plastic bag free is becoming very exciting. The group are encouraging local shoppers to remember to take a bag when they shop in Wedmore.
Enough funding has been secured to give every child at Wedmore First School and Hugh Sexey's Middle School a free Wedmore light weight cotton shopping bag to promote the use of alternatives to plastic. Some stylish, roomier and sturdier shopping bags will be produced and sold at cost price.
The occasion of Wedmore Street Fair on June 28th is planned as 'change over day'.
