The South Leicestershire Litter Wombles have celebrated their fourth birthday – and have collected some 114,000 bags of rubbish during that time.

Some 60 volunteers celebrated the milestone by carrying out a litter pick, collecting 250 bags. They then met in the pub to look back over their achievements.

A spokeswoman said: “We had plenty of laughs and appreciation. It was a proud day for all Wombles, we are still smiling now.

“As a group since we started logging bags in 2020, we’ve filled 114,000 bags.”
