On a pleasant Monday evening, three GoodGymers set off for Leazes Park on a litter pick. We carried out the exact same task about three months ago when Leazes Park was seeking to regain its Green Flag (successfully https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3072zelpg2o.amp). Last time there was hardly any litter in the park, which was probably just as well with an inspection due. This time it was very different, with litter strewn everywhere, particularly around seating areas. There really is no excuse for this as Leazes Park has numerous bins all over the park.

Aimee, Lucy and Richard made short work of much of the litter, filling six bin liners in just over an hour.

Come and join us next Monday as we help NUFC Fans' Foodbank.
