22 bags of detritus were collected during the litter pick.

There were mild conditions for the final Morpeth Litter Group blitz of the year on November 24.

A total of 18 volunteers came along, tackling all eight of its routes, and 22 bags were collected.

Dai Richards, Morpeth’s Keep Britain Tidy Ambassador, said: “It is hoped that the people of Morpeth will notice the difference. I definitely did driving around Morpeth later in the afternoon.

“Thanks to everyone who came along, especially your patience in awaiting my decision on Sunday morning whether to go ahead or not.

“Our next litter blitz will be on February 23, 2025, the last Sunday in February.”
