THE Alton Society will be holding its annual spring litter pick on Saturday, starting at 10am from outside the old post office on Alton High Street.

Keen to encourage as many folk as possible to join in, the Society will provide litter picks, high-visibility jackets and sacks, but asks volunteers to wear gloves.

However, due to the adverse weather forecast, event organiser Barbara Burfoot has advised that should it be too bad the Society may be forced to postpone. She said if the weather turns out to be particularly wintry, anyone thinking of taking part should check online at altonsociety.org.uk or call 01420 89553.
