Hide AdAl Creighton from Davys Street Residents Association said: “A big reduction in carrier bags and other waste originating from the local Tesco and Sainsbury’s stores has been greatly noticed compared to our last clean-ups. Other large items like rugs and a TV were collected.”
Meanwhile, the event concluded with a free barbecue. “We hope the elderly and some others in the community enjoyed the ‘free barbecue grub to your doors’ in the blustery weather,” added Mr Creighton.
