Five of our volunteers returned to Middlesbrough Road Southbank. They collected 50 bags of litter and various larger items. R&CBC helped remove the collection. The team enjoyed a brew in Greggs and said the staff are lovely and always make them welcome. Great community spirit.

Kathryn went back to Locke Park yesterday, she collected another two bags of rubbish. She was disappointed to see her previous four bags still at the bin in the park and other bins overflowing. She messaged me and let me know about the problem, I got in touch with the Council. The bins in the park should be emptied daily apparently, for some reason, this has not happened lately, I was told it will get sorted asap, a good response from the Council and I’m sure it will get done.

Alison’s cleaned up glass, plastic, lots of plastic bottles and take away trays today. She said it made her day when someone said “your doing a good job”. She cleared litter from Whitby Close (Skelton), finding lots of litter at the bus stop, then all the way along Byland Road till she got to the bus stop on Rievaulx Road.

Three of our volunteers were out today with Robertson's staff (the company overseeing the work to the old M&S site), Andrew from the Council and Cllr Carl Quartermain. We clearsd the beach of litter from Dundas St through to Tuned In. The topic of conversation turned to removal of bricks and concrete from the beach which we are hoping to bring together in the next couple of months. Watch this space!

Nice to bump into these guys from EE this afternoon. They litter picked the dunes near the caravan club and the beach along Majuba. Happy days!
