Skelmanthorpe community group collect dozens of bags of litter in two hour village clean up

COMMUNITY volunteers collected 52 bags of a litter in a two-hour village clean up.

Members of the Skelmanthorpe Community Action Group (Scag) held a village clean up last Saturday.

Scag committee member, Christopher Ward, said: “It became clear that a great deal of the rubbish had been fly-tipped.

And down Thorpes Lane and at the football pitches on Cross Lane we could see that due to a lack of litter bins; bottles, cans and used first aid dressings plus fast food containers had just been thrown down by both players and spectators.”
