Many readers will be aware of national litter picking days over the past weekend, (March 20/21) as part of the Keep BritainTidy initiatives.

Let’s try harder to keep our lovely town cleaner by binning our rubbish, especially on the move.

How many energy drink and water bottles were picked up from runners discarding these over the wall along Low Fellside? How many dog owners bag but don’t bin and even throw the full package into a tree? Okay it’s the minority but please think before irresponsible disposal of any kind of detritus - and if necessary take it home.

Fellside Forum meet on the last Saturday in every month for litter collection type of work, albeit last month was aligned with the national day.
