Last night five fearless litter warriors dressed in Goodgym red and dashes of hi-visibility apparel, litter picked along Sheepen Road. Not for the first time we found mad amounts of litter. People have mistaken bushes for bins and grassy verges for recycling centres. Of course the people who throw litter may not know any better and perhaps it is fair to put some responsibility on the big brands whose names are 'proudly' printed on the discarded rubbish. Anyway, our lovely group chatted and litter picked and made the little green patches and alleyways cleaner.

What's coming up? Well Christmas fun with singing and wrapping...

Litter blights our streets, parks and beaches and costs us millions of pounds to clear up every year. Keep Britain Tidy is here to inspire people to eliminate litter now and for future generations. This is about more than simply getting people to pick up litter. We aim to change behaviour permanently by spotlighting the problem daily and offering creative solutions. We work with people, businesses, local authorities and government to educate, innovate and inspire - improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.
