The Litter-Free Guiseley Campaign (LFGC) began in 2003, ignited by litter-picking resident Jeff Yates. It has grown to a group of more than 40 members, whose diligent filling of rubbish bags has transformed previously litter-strewn pockets of land across Guiseley and further afield. “In February alone we filled 206 bags, covering an area from Hollings Hill to Otley Chevin and beyond,” said Jeff. It all started when Jeff noticed the amount of litter strewn around as he walked around central and outer Guiseley. “When I started collecting I would take one carrier bag to fill, which soon became two, and then they were quickly filled. Walks were often ruined by having to stop so frequently.”
Group collects more than 11,000 bags of litter thetelegraphandargus.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thetelegraphandargus.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
