DESPITE there being only 28 days in February, the amount of litter piling up around Tavistock during the month has sadly not diminished.

Tidy Tavi are therefore counting on a really good turnout on Saturday to tackle the worst of it. A spokesman for the group said: 'If you've thought about coming out to help but never got around to it, then this is the time to give it a try.

'The teams will set off from the Wharf as usual at 9.50am and will be back at around noon for a well-earned rest and a cup of tea.

'If you'd like to assist in this extremely worthwhile activity then do come along. All are welcome young, old and in-between. Just bring a good pair of gloves and perhaps wear a pair of comfortable boots.'
