A four-year-old boy in Frome has collected 160 pieces of rubbish after being disappointed by the volume of litter along the footpath by Rodden Meadow.
Codie Van Vliet spent an hour and a half litter-picking last month with his grandparents on a 100-yard stretch of the footpath that runs alongside the meadow.
“He went out with his grabber and stick and collected 160 bottles and cans, which we then took home and sorted for recycling,” said Codie’s grandad, Quintyn Howard-Evans.
“Lots of people were walking past thanking him for doing it. Litter is a real problem around here and this is an example of someone trying to do something about it.”
