Making a clean sweepLitter picking volunteers show carnival spirit

The litter pick was organised by Old Town councillor James Bacon and is one of a number of successful clean-up events he has held.

Cllr Bacon said: The litter pick went really well with over 11 bags of rubbish collected in two hours. A huge thanks to all of the volunteers who came out to support this event. Congratulations to Andie Barnes for winning the ‘Best Dressed’ competition. I also enjoyed myself dressed as a burger and I am already thinking of what culinary delight I will be next year.
