With one party working from a canoe on the river and the others from the banks, the group worked along the River Waring from the Town Bridge to the junction with the River Bain.

This was followed by a couple of quick sorties alongside Tesco’s and near The Ship Inn.

Despite both rivers looking to have stayed reasonably clear of litter during the winter months, the group still collected five large bags of rubbish, a bucket of glass bottles, one scooter, one large advertising sign and an old motor mower roller!
