LITTER pickers who came together to tidy up a village have been thanked for their efforts after they collected more than 20 bags of rubbish.
On Sunday volunteers came together to tidy up the streets of Heybridge.
More than 20 residents of all ages took part and managed to make a big difference, with a total of 23 bags collected.
In a Facebook post, Heybridge Parish Council said: "Thank you to all those that attended our community litter pick this morning.
"Over 20 willing volunteers helped to tackle the ever increasing litter in our parish. Todays haul 23 bags, a shopping basket and washing up bowl.
"Our volunteers also noticed several areas of fly tipping which will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
"The next community litter pick will be held on Sunday 16th March 2025 at 10.00am, Please come along and help us keep our parish tidy.
