The Litter Legends will be scouring the streets as part of the country's biggest mass-action environmental campaign.

The Great British Spring Clean begins on Saturday and aims to get residents cleaning up their local parks, streets and community spaces.

Lichfield's Litter Legends will be holding an event at Netherstowe Fields from 10am to 3pm and are inviting people to join in, equipment is provided if needed.

Julia Kendrick, who founded the group in November 2019, said: "We get a range of volunteers and by helping for one hour a week they are all being active whilst making an impact on their community. The team is really passionate about changing the way people think in regards to littering."

Councillor Joanne Grange added: "Having been a part of the litter group since it started it is good to see that people care about their community and don't want to live with litter.

"Of course what will really make a difference is for litter not to be dropped in the first place, and I hope when people see their friends and neighbours tidying up it will help people think about disposing of their rubbish properly in the first place."
