Volunteers Unite For Mass Litter Pick

Volunteers collected dozens of bags of rubbish after holding a big litter pick in and around Market Harborough to mark the end of the Great British Spring Clean campaign.

Litter Wombles and volunteers from Harborough’s neighbourhood forums were out in force over the weekend, including near B&M on Rockingham Road, the corner of Goward St and Nelson Street, the Wellington Place estate and around The Green in Great Bowden.

Leicestershire’s Little Wombles collected over 3,000 bags of rubbish during the 16-day Keep Britain Tidy campaign and in the past year have amassed 15,000 bags of rubbish.
