Litter pickers bag a big haul

-

Almost 60 bags of rubbish and a pile of large items were collected from the London Road Estate during a community litter pick on Sunday morning.

The event was organised by Labour ward councillor Simon Warley, who was joined by other Canterbury councillor­s.

More than 30 people took part, including 12 children from the Canterbury Kids Youth Club.

Cllr Warley said: “A big thank you to everyone who came. It was a great morning’s work.”

As well as the sacks, they collected a bike, an umbrella, a chair and a shopping trolley.

Campaigner Sian Pettman said: “It really was a massive amount of rubbish. It also just goes to show that the more people you can encourage to come, the more you can collect.”
