The Great Lochardil Litter-pick - SUCCESS!

Just to thank everyone that came  along last night.  We calculated that about 60 bags were collected in total by over 50 people, including Lochardil Scouts, Community Council, Inverness Royal Academy, and members of the public.

About 20 bags came from Culduthel Park alone (there was a bank with some dumped rubbish; two syringes were found in that area too).

Overall a noticeable improvement thanks to all of you!
