Park litter outrage after warm weather in Lincoln
The person cleaning up has been verbally abused too
Large numbers of people were gathered and left a mess at Lincoln Arboretum.
A Lincoln resident has been out cleaning in the Arboretum after large amounts of litter were left there by people gathering at the park to enjoy the weather.
The warm weather on Tuesday and Wednesday came in time for the latest lifting of lockdown restrictions, which allowed for up to six people to meet outdoors.
Many gathered to meet at Lincoln Arboretum this week, though unfortunately a lot of litter was left behind at the park.

A paedophile with an “appalling” record of sex offences involving children tried to destroy evidence when police turned up at his home, Lincoln Crown Court was told on Thursday.
Ian Picksley, who at the time was on prison licence after being released from an indeterminate sentence, was visited by officers in December 2019 at his flat in Hawthorn Chase, Lincoln, but initially refused to answer the door.
Tony Stanford, prosecuting, said that officers knocked on the front and back doors and then on the window but it was several minutes before Picksley allowed them in.
