Organiser Kathryn Ashdown, Operations Manager at Gang Warily Recreation Centre said: “The weather wasn’t on our side today, but we still had some volunteers. We collected 6 full bags of rubbish in two hours, so it was worthwhile. If you would like to get involved in a litter pick, head over to the Keep Britain Tidy website where, rather than join a litter pick, you have the option to pledge your time whenever you are available”. Chairman of Fawley Parish Council Cllr Alan Alvey said: “Special thanks should go to Kathryn for so efficiently organising the morning, and to the Hideaway Cafe for a very welcome cup of coffee on our return. It was good to get out and receive recognition from the public for the volunteer’s efforts”. He also took the opportunity to thank the volunteers that litter pick throughout the year, using the equipment provided by Fawley Parish Council. eir e orts are much appreciated. Credit is also due to the sta of Fawley Parish Council and NFDC whose duties involve clearing up the litter dropped by thoughtless members of the public.
