Rotary on litter-picking duty

On Saturday 5 June a group from the Rotary Club of King’s Lynn took part in a litter pick organised by club member and local councillor, Paul Kunes, who was able to obtain visible jackets, bags and picking gear from the council depot.  The area that the group cleared was from the Gayton Road cemetery down to the cycle bridge which leads to the Hardwick industrial park.  Members of the other Rotary Clubs in King’s Lynn have also been involved in clearing litter in recent weeks.
