A new litter picking group have sprung into action in Harold Wood following a social media trend.
Groups of Wombles have popped up all over the UK as thousands of public-spirited citizens have enrolled in an unofficial army of litter pickers.
Named after the famous tidy Wombles from the 1960s children s novels, the groups have become a collective force crisscrossing the county battling with the tide of rubbish and fly-tippers.
Bunny Eagling heads up the dozen-strong Harold Wood Wombles, which launched six weeks ago to clean up the Harold Wood Park and Painesbrook Open Space along with Harold Wood councillors Brian Eagling, Martin Goode and Darren Wise.
