Rivercare group carries out 83rd clean-up of the Witham
Twenty Rivercare volunteers set about clearing rubbish from the River Witham on Saturday.
This was the 83rd clean-up undertaken since the group was formed 14 years ago.
Their efforts were concentrated on the stretch between Bridge End Road and Wyndham Park.
John Knowles, leader of the group, said: “Compared with the early days the amount was considerably reduced
and for the first time ever there were no shopping trolleys.
“However, the collection included 12 bags of rubbish, a bike frame, a traffic cone and a large plastic container. Well done to all of those who took part in the clean up.”
The next clean-up is on Saturday, September 15.
