Thank You To Our Litter Picking Volunteers

by Leave a Comment

A big thank you to the 19 enthusiastic volunteers who took to Long Leys Road on Saturday morning (2 November) armed with litter pickers and bin bags. The team made a clean sweep of the verges on Long Leys Road, from the Yarborough Road traffic lights to just past the A46 underpass as well as clearing the Higson Steps. In total, volunteers contributed 25 hours of their own time to give Long Leys its Autumn tidy-up. The underpass area got special attention, with more long-standing rubbish removed from the hedges. The haul was around 30 rubble sacks, kindly disposed of by our local Travis Perkins branch.

LLRA’s next litter-picking event will be in the Spring. Watch out for details nearer the time.
