For once the weather forecast was correct and there was an hour of sunshine between the rainshowers, just in time for GoodGym! We made our way down to Castle Park and the skatepark, pickers in hand and met Em on route. Pick of the day was an old, rusty bike seat found by Vanessa! We had a good chat, lots of talking rubbish but the good kind of rubbish! As we finished up at Leisure World, the sky clouded over...a day for rainbows.

Be part of the pick! Join the #GBSpringClean 2019

Litter blights our streets, parks and beaches and costs us millions of pounds to clear up every year. Keep Britain Tidy is here to inspire people to eliminate litter now and for future generations. This is about more than simply getting people to pick up litter. We aim to change behaviour permanently by spotlighting the problem daily and offering creative solutions. We work with people, businesses, local authorities and government to educate, innovate and inspire - improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.
