Keeping D&G Tidy has been set up by Maggie Holdsworth, who spends many hours a week clearing litter from the A75 around Dumfries .
Maggie, who was a finalist for Dumfries and Galloway Life’s volunteer of the year award, said: “I wanted to find out who else was litter picking, where and what areas were standing out for needing litter cleaning. “You go to a place that you despair of and you leave it feeling proud of where you are. It doesn’t stop you feeling cross that people are dropping litter but the less litter there is in an area, I think, the less will accumulate.”The group hopes to recognise good work already being done and support people who want to litter pick, with a map being developed to track littering hotspots and litter picking activity.
