Diving mallard by Mary Collins
Come and join the merry band, keeping litter at bay and looking after the park!
  • Meet at the Lakeside Centre, where you'lll find binbags and litterpickers.
  • The weather forecast is looking like good outdoors and rain proof clothing, at the moment! Please check the weather and dress accordingly, make sure to wear appropriate footwear.
  • Wear gardening gloves, if you have them - as the council can only provide latex gloves.
  • Don't pick up any sharp objects - glass, needles, knives or weapons. Photograph them and report it, instead.
  • Remember, we work in pairs for social and safety reasons.
Litterpicks are every First Tuesday of the month.
