Volunteers pitch in to spruce up Dudley
A TEAM of volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help spruce up Dudley.
The community litter pick in the town centre took place on Wednesday, June 4, and was organised by the Dudley Town Centre Partnership with support from Dudley Council.
Volunteers were joined by council officers to collect bags of rubbish from public areas across the town.
Councillor Paul Bradley, deputy leader of Dudley Council, said: "It was great to see the volunteers on the litter pick today and meet the incredible community members who are dedicated to keeping Dudley clean.
"I would like to thank the Town Centre Partnership for organising this activity, it is shocking to see the amount of litter that people have thrown.
"I would encourage anyone visiting the town to be respectful of others and help to keep our town nice by throwing rubbish away properly."
The council will now sort through the collected waste and recycle as much as possible.
The litter pick forms part of wider efforts by the Town Centre Partnership to improve the area's appearance, boost visitor numbers and support a cleaner environment.
