Environmentally-minded Oswestry residents are being urged to join the deputy mayor, Councillor Duncan Kerr, for a litter pick next month.

The event will be at Wilfred Owen Green on Sunday from 2pm, starting out at the Cambrian Medical Centre.

Cllr Kerr says the invite is welcome to all and hopes to make the most of the hour to pick up as much litter as possible.

“Everyone of every age is welcome to join us in another litter-pick of Wilfred Owen Green on that Sunday," he said.

"As with our last litter pick, this has been organised by the Green Party councillors on Oswestry Town Council and is an opportunity for everyone to come and contribute towards keeping our great town clean.

"Gloves and litter-pickers will be available.

"At our last litter pick we gathered more than 12 bags full of rubbish, a bicycle and a shopping trolley.

"I’m pleased to say that thanks to all our amazing volunteers we separated all the recyclables, the bicycle was mended by the wonderful people at the Oswestry repair cafe, and the shopping trolley was re-united with its store.

"I wonder what treasure awaits us this Sunday. If you are able to spare an hour please come to the park entrance nearest to the Cambrian Medical Centre for 2pm."
