Mortimer Spring Clean

On Saturday 2nd of April the Horse and Groom garden was the venue for setting off on Mortimer's second annual village spring clean. The weather was kind and come the afternoon the sun was almost shining. The turn out was up on last year and over 50 volunteers were kitted out with gloves, jackets, bags and litter pickers, all provided by West Berkshire Council. The volunteers covered the length and breadth of Mortimer and beyond, collecting some very unusual items as well as the more mundane. Bags and larger objects were left along the road side for collection in the week by West Berkshire Council. Thank You to all the volunteers both young and old; it is great to see so many people taking a pride in Mortimer.

Here you can see some of the valiant volunteers!
