The Thursday morning volunteers have been picking up a fair amount of rubbish in the undergrowth – including lots of plastic:

But before the working party was formed this June, the stalwarts from the Sidmouth Plastic Warriors had been very busy picking up other people’s debris.

And as Rachel Perren said back in September 2018:
I can’t help feeling really sad that due to the neglect by the councils over the past couple of years, this little park is in a sorry state.

Let’s hope we can improve the state of this little park over the coming months!
