MEMBERS of the newly formed 'Keep Grange Tidy' group had its first ever litter pick round the town on Saturday, April 20, and collected 25 bags of rubbish in just a couple of hours.

South Lakeland District Council provided plastic sacks, gloves, high visibility jackets and litter grabs for the event which attracted a lot of support.

More litter picks are to be organised targeting specific areas in and around Grange and the group will also be tackling the more difficult problem of dog fouling in public places.
