PUBLIC servants have stopped picking political fights to pick up rubbish on the streets of Kendal.

Around 20 councillors from South Lakeland District Council and Kendal Town Council combined forces to blitz litter in the town centre.

At the end of the day, on September 20, they managed to collect around 200kg of rubbish.

Clare Feeney-Johnson, Mayor of Kendal, said: “I think we really made an impact on people when they saw us collecting litter from Kendal town centre.

“Residents were chatting to all the volunteers and were asking where they will be going next. The response from people as we collected was extremely positive and we hope that people will now think about where they dispose of litter.”
