Over the last weekend a group of nine volunteers working separately picked a combined total of about 20 bin bags of rubbish from the streets of Boughton and surrounding lanes. Many thanks to those who helped out.

The worst locations were Stoke Road, parts of Oxborough Road and the first part of Gibbet Lane towards Fincham Road. Despite lockdown restrictions people are still finding the time to throw their rubbish in our ditches and on our verges.

Please, if you are walking your dogs, take your poo bags home with you. If you are trying to quit smoking do not discard your NiQuitin packaging as litter. If you are fond of Polish Cherry Brandy, do not throw your empty bottles at the side of the road.
