Thank You to Our Community Litter Pick Volunteers

Tutbury Parish Council would like to thank all the volunteers who attended the community litter pick on Saturday 15th November.
Volunteers divided into four groups, each covering a different route across the village to ensure that most areas — including all play areas — were included.
Their efforts resulted in the collection of 10 bags of litter, helping to keep our village tidy and enjoyable for everyone.
We are grateful for the continued support and community spirit shown by all who took part.
