Today's community litter pick has been cancelled after new limits on social gatherings were announced earlier this week.

The measures announced by the government will limit the number of people allowed to meet up to just six and will come into effect on Monday.

Today's socially distanced litter pick was due to see volunteers meet at Cavendish Square to clean up the surrounding area between 10am and 12noon.

This was to be followed by lunch at the Sun Inn to discuss future community clean ups and other ideas.

Resident Curtis Flux who was organising today's gathering said: "After much advice and speaking to many people regarding this weekend's litter pick we will unfortunately have to postpone this time.

"As soon as the restrictions have again been lifted I will inform everyone and suggest a new date for us all."
