On the evening of Thursday 5th September Brian and I held a successful litter picking session with a large group of Letchworth Scouts at Baldock Road Park. We collected nine bags of rubbish in one hour before the daylight disappeared. A special thanks to Ryan of FB Chain Ltd who donated a new supply of litter pickers for our use.

After searching for litter around Baldock, not enough could be found to send teams to clear up.
On Saturday 11 May, 7 of us picked litter along Letchworth Gate and collected 18 bags of rubbish. However, it was from the longabout that we collected 13 bags of empty wine bottles which I estimate contained some 350 bottles! This brings the total bags collected in both Letchworth and Baldock to 1520.
On 10 February a collection along Letchworth Gate produced 23 bags of litter. These contained 20 glass wine bottles, most were empty but some contained a liquid that smelt like urine. All the bottles
This is a fantastic local group who have 4 teams of very dedicated litter pickers operating weekly in Letchworth and Baldock. Since September 2020 they have collected 1,460 bags of rubbish!
