Yesterday we worked with the Canal & River Trust cleaning the short stretch of towpath from Hayes Bridge to Blair Peach Primary School & filled 90 sacks of rubbish + dozens unbaggables. We need a plan to prevent this abuse of a public space & keep it clean. Happy to be part of the solution.

This is appalling, not only for the environment but also. For a organisation to pick up the bill, the trust spends an eye watering amount of money picking up after people. Change needs to happen.
