TWYN-YR-ODYN & ST LYTHANS<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A group of environmentally conscious litter-pickers have joined together to help keep the local area clean.<\/p>\n

The weather was fine and sunny on 23rd March \u2013 the perfect conditions for a spring clean \u2013 when fifteen volunteers came together to help tackle our litter problem. Armed with bin bags and grabbers, our all-ages group set about clearing up the rubbish lining the roads.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We began our collection at the bottom of Old Port Road and made our way up into St Lythans, collecting around 18 bags worth of rubbish in total. The group was made up of volunteers from Twyn-yr-Odyn and St Lythans, all happy to do their bit to help keep the area clean and tidy.<\/p>\n

A few of the unusual items found along the way included strip lights and a single football boot \u2013 the other one presumably having wandered off before we could locate it.<\/p>\n

A special thank you to Heather from the Horse and Jockey pub for providing much needed sustenance after our efforts.<\/p>\n

It was lovely to see so many people pitching in and as it was so successful, we will be running another one soon. We\u2019d like to invite anyone who is keen to join in to get in touch with Rhian at the following email address: rhiansexton@yahoo.co.uk<\/p>\n
