Community Litter Pick and Tidy-up

On 6 June we cleared three shopping trolleys, two mattresses, 12 black bin bags of rubbish, and a pile of scrap metal from the neighbouring streets. We also picked up 5 bags of litter and cleared weeds along a stretch of Oakley Street and Sackville Street.

We will be out on the streets picking up litter on the first Saturday each month.
