Town Clean up Litter remains a problem on our streets, parks and rivers, but I can remember a time when it seemed much worse.
Cigarette butts were a main bugbear back then and thankfully this has lessened.
Todays photos show a litter cleanup in 1975 and young liberals clearing the rubbish from the Churn in 1974
