Tonight's task was a litter pick, as two GoodGymers headed off towards Byker. The intention was to head on to Heaton, but we discovered possibly the most littered place in Newcastle, and possibly the world. A 30 metre stretch of path near Byker KFC managed to fill eight bin liners, mostly with cans and other drinks containers. There was also a lot of evidence of Greggs and KFC customers.

Filling eight bags with litter from such a small area was incredible. Especially since it took two of us less than half an hour. There was a bonus child car seat plus a couple of plastic car wheel covers, all of which we also deposited in bins. A real difference was made tonight. It was nice to receive thank yous from a couple of members of the public tonight too.
