Another glorious May day and a band of intrepid volunteers met in Buckstone Road to litter pick and do some work on Nanny Beck, the stream running along side Buckstone Road.
There were three litter pickers and nine of us set to work on Nanny Beck – clearing away blockages, cutting back vegetation, and removing rubbish and litter. We also cleared thousands of Himalayan Balsam plants from the roadside bank.
A number of passing members of the public were interested in what we were doing and stopped to chat and thank us for our work.
Apart from that, your correspondent is feeling uninspired today and will let the pictures do the talking – the before and after shot of one small stretch of the stream illustrates the group’s achievement.



Some members of the happy team.
