Sacks of rubbish collected in April’s spring clean RUBBISH weighing the equivalent of a blue whale’s tongue has been collected from roadside verges in Craven by council officers since early April. Amongst the three tonnes of rubbish was a bag containing keys, money and ID, which had been lost from the back of a motorbike and which has now been returned to the owner. The annual spring clean of verges along main highways carried out by Craven District Council began on April 6 and is due to run for about two months. Tracy McLuckie, the council’s environmental services manager, said: “Our teams are working hard around the district to ensure Craven looks at its best for residents and visitors.
