A community clean-up had some surprising results.
As well as 15 bags of rubbish, a litter pick by members of Upton in Bloom at Stocks Yatt Meadow turned up plenty of unusual items.
Upton in Bloom chairman Jackie Surtees said: “Apart from cans and bottles, we also found traffic cones, a broken shovel, a hoodie, trainers and a pair of gloves.”
The group returned a few days later to remove a large television, half a door and three tyres from a stream, as well as more traffic cones, a five-gallon container of tar and other rubbish that was embedded in brambles.
Malvern Hills District Council offered to come and remove the rubbish.
Upton in Bloom will be giving a presentation about its work at the next meeting of Upton Town Council, taking place in Memorial Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday, February 28.
