Cllr Stephen Fenton led a team of volunteers in a litter pick of the area around the old Askham Bar Park & Ride site on Sunday 20 November. As with previous litter picks, food and drink packaging from items bought at Tesco were strewn around the area.

24 bags of rubbish were collected

The stretch of pavement and verge on Tadcaster Road between the cemetery and the new Park & Ride site was particularly bad, and yielded three full bags of litter.

There is a growing band of volunteer litter pickers who look after their street. If you would like to join them, please call Stephen on 787988 or email cllr.sfenton@york.gov.uk . All volunteers are provided with training and equipment.
