Boroughbridge boys cure lockdown blues by litter-picking
Two boys from Boroughbridge have found a way to stay active during lockdown while helping their community by litter-picking.
Gregory Bishop, 11 and brother Christopher, nine, were undeterred after a village litter-pick was cancelled due to covid.
Fed up seeing rubbish in their neighbourhood, they kept asking to go out and clean up.
This week they went to a stretch of Bar Lane and collected eight bin bags worth of litter.
Their efforts have been praised by the parish council.
