We would like to say a really big ‘thank you’ to local schoolboy, Ben Smith, who has started a year-long stretch of weekly litter-picking duties at our two playparks in order to achieve his next Duke of Edinburgh Award. So if you see Ben out and about in his hi-vis jacket with his trusty litter-picking gadget in hand, do say hello and give him some words of encouragement, especially if it is blowing a gale and pouring with rain!
