Dear Sir,

Our litter picking duties continue with still much litter, now with volunteers, going it alone this week, we covered the area from the Eco Centre and Sports Club down Gunn Lane towards Travellers Green. When you go out as a team you are able to collect much more in a shorter time. The team collected enough waste to fill a Town Council flat back truck. The disappointing thing we collected was two full unopened packs of the Newton News which were obviously not delivered by whoever, just dumped in the wood by the rear of Travellers Green. However, the team have agreed to carry on regardless and the team leader is determined not to let things like this stop us, it is a long programme that we are involved in to conquer, with reports like mine, but the team leader is our Labour Candidate Ian Gray. We have volunteers on a regular basis picking up in West Park and surrounding areas. Ian can be contacted by email at ian.gray38@btinternet.com
