Anyone keen to improve the look of Alton by clearing up rubbish is invited to join two litter picks in the town.

The first, called the Alton Litter Pick, will start in the Anstey Park car park by the Royal British Legion clubhouse on March 6 at 10am, while the second, The Alton Society Litter Pick, begins at the Alton Assembly Rooms on March 8 at 10am.

A spokesperson for the Alton Climate Action Network said: “Please do come along and help. You can make an immediate and obvious difference to the appearance of our town.”

Families are welcome, and litter pickers and bags will be provided.
