Littering is a scourge of every city in the world - including #Peterborough. Thankfully the team of volunteers known as the Litter Wombles clear up areas of the city regularly - they're up to nearly 50,000 bags this year so far.We spoke to Harry Machin in Parnwell about the work the Wombles do - as well as the potential of community cleanups to provide purpose for the unemployed, how to clean a Parkway, the McDonalds vs Morrisons 'turf war', and things volunteers have found which even included a box of kittens.#CommunityCleanUp #Volunteer #LocalPark #CommunityAction #MakingADifference #ResidentAction #NeighborhoodPride
