Litter-picking heroes across Malmesbury have been honoured for their efforts. Ben Thornbury has mobilised his local community into picking up litter, cleaning the streets and brightening up areas since the pandemic began. An online group – Helping the Community of Malmesbury – formed as a response to lockdown and since then, he and other volunteers have worked to improve the area for all. Now, both Ben and his comrades are to receive the High Sheriff of Wiltshire’s award for services to the community during the pandemic. They were nominated by Malmesbury mayor Campbell Ritchie. The 15-year-old will accept the honour virtually on March 22 on behalf of all the volunteers who work hard to support the town.
