What a load of rubbish!

The volunteers pictured at Street Scene Greenfield's Community Litter Pick

Twenty hardy volunteers, including three youngsters, were in the village to help Street Scene Greenfield's Community Litter Pick on Saturday.

Although the sun was shining, there was a bitterly cold wind so thanks to all who braved the elements, says Steph Pelmore.

A total of 26 bags of rubbish were collected, plus an extensive range of miscellaneous items including a bicycle, a scooter, road cones, a road sign and a fire extinguisher!

All in all, it was a very worthwhile outing.

Thanks to Tesco Greg for the welcome refreshments, enjoyed afterwards at Boarshurst Band Club.
