Spring Clean the Village - views from the litter pick

Thank you to the 18 volunteers who turned out to clear up the verges, the towpath and the lanes.  In all, 56 bags of rubbish were collected. Some of this was from fly-tipping on the hard standing at the north end of Pix Farm Lane.  We are particularly grateful to the team from MacDonalds who are sensitive to the fact that much of the litter problem, especially in Upper Bourne End Lane, is caused by their customers. They do employ someone to go out and collect rubbish every day, but it seems this is not enough to counter the wave of refuse from all the activity in that part of the village.

It was a productive morning and Jenny from the Anchor rewarded us all with coffee and a chance to sit and chat.   Many thanks everyone.
