Volunteers met to cover as much of the town centre as they could on the afternoon of February 25, meeting in the Terrace car park.
A report by the group for the litter blitz stated: “A total of 22 people turned up and 40+ bags were collected, plus a metal frame for a table. Four new volunteers came along.

“Thank you everyone who came along, we didn’t complete all routes due to the scale of the problem but we made a massive dent in the scale of detritus.”
As a result, it has been decided that the next litter blitz on Sunday, March 24 will also be in the town centre. Meet in Goosehill car park at 12.45pm.
