    Litter

    Were you mortified to see the large amount of rubbish strewn on the Straight Road grass verge north of Langham Road junction recently?

    Did you notice that it had been cleared up after a few days?

    Well, thanks go to Stephen and Annette Whybrow who stepped in and cleared it up.

    Stephen is the co-ordinator for the village volunteer litter group. A recent appeal in the parish magazine has brought 3 more welcome recruits on board but more volunteers are always appreciated.

    For more details contact Stephen at stephenwhybrow@msn.com
