Mel Jen and Stu met up for a litter pick of the notorious car park near to Peepul Centre. Notorious only for it being one of the best spots in Leicester to find discarded drinks cans! However today was different, yes there was the usual rubbish to pick up but also an unfortunate visitor to the Peepul Centre had misjudged the angle of the car park exit ramp and drove her car onto the low side wall where it was stuck with wheels off the ground. Jen went to investigate what and how it had happened. Though on arrival at the car, it was obvious the driver needed help so Jen did what she could and the AA was called. A quickly placed orange traffic cone stopped any further accidents occurring. Peepul Centre staff came out to assess the situation and comfort the driver. So Mel Jen & Stu carried on with their original task.
Two bags of cans collected which Stu has taken to the H4H collection bin. One bag of general waste collected and added to the pile left from our last litter pick. Back to the car stuck on a wall story: the AA man arrived and with help from the Peepul Centre staff the car was eventually jacked up and towed up and over the wall. Mel Jen & Stu gave a quick round of applause then left the rescuers to finish up their rescue.
