LITTER in public areas throughout Tavistock is increasing due to warm weather and longer evenings, it has been reported by a local group.

And to rectify this situation, Tidy Tavi volunteers will be setting out this Saturday (July 1) from Meadowlands Leisure Centre at 10am, with an optional later start time of 10:30am for families with children. New volunteers are always welcome.

With the growth in the number of families coming out to help organisers are now in the process of addressing the need for smaller-sized hi vis jackets, backed by the financial support of the Tavistock Lions Club and the management of the Meadowlands Leisure Centre.
