The Harrogate Clinic staff go litter picking to 'spruce up' Harrogate
Staff at The Harrogate Clinic were out litter picking in Harrogate town centre yesterday after seeing an increase in discarded rubbish.
The colleagues said they have seen an increase in litter since lockdown was loosened and finally decided something had to be done.
In just a few hours the team collected bags of rubbish filled with food packaging, wine and beer bottles and drug paraphernalia.
Walking into work each day, Dr Shoreh Ghasmi, says her and her colleagues often comment on the amount of litter and wanted to get a group together to tackle it.
Dr Ghasmi said:
The team, from The Harrogate Clinic on Prospect Crescent, have said they plan to make this a monthly scheme with other local businesses already saying they want to get involved.
