A DRIVE to cut down on the amount of litter in south Swindon will take place at the weekend.

Resident Curtis Flux is organising a community litter pick on Sunday.

Starting at 10am volunteers will be meeting at the Costcutter on Welcombe Avenue.

Curtis said: “I am a local resident and I drive through the area on a day-to-day basis and couldn’t help but notice the litter issue.

“I have taken up a fair amount of voluntary work recently so thought a good starting point would be to get a local team together and at least help out with the litter problem.

“It shows the community are happy to chip in,” he added.

The litter pick will be incorporate social distancing and gloves, masks, bags and litter sticks will be provided to participants.
