A DEDICATED team of litter pickers cleared rubbish from Westbrook’s Mary Ann Pond and the surrounding area last Tuesday.

The group, who collected 13 bags of refuse, included Clr Kevin Reynolds, a number of residents and volunteers from St Philip’s Church.

Organiser David Parr, of Castle Green, said: “The highlight of the evening was when the swans, geese and water fowl turned up at the end to thank the team for returning their summer home into a litter free habitat.”’
