The report of the latest Morpeth Litter Group blitz highlighted the excellent effort by the team of 10 people on the day in the Coopies Lane Industrial Estate.

The originally planned litter pick on April 28 was postponed due to heavy rain, but with nice weather at the weekend it took place on Sunday, May 12.

Items collected as outlined in the report were as follows: ‘26 bags of rubbish; three metal strips; Network Rail noticeboard (redundant and needed to be removed); one blue Bread tray; two tables from the café located at Jewsons (now closed); one bag of sand; one metal piping; two pieces of narrow plastic piping; various prices of wood; one traffic bollard; yellow pipe lagging’.
