LITTER pickers once again gave up several hours of their weekend to clean-up Riverside Park in Burnham.

Last year, a group of Burnham residents and councillors formed the group “I Love Burnham” on Facebook, with the aim of getting residents together who wanted to make a positive change to the town and surrounding areas.

A number of complaints had been made about the state of Riverside Park with considerable amounts of rubbish and other litter left near the marina and other green areas.

This was the group's second organised litter pick of the New Year, with dozens more bags filled with rubbish left in the park.

Now they have cleaned up a lot of Riverside, the group is hoping to visit other areas of Burnham and the Dengie.
