Brigg Town Council arranges for a contactor to carry out periodic clearing of rubbish from the River Ancholme. The next Ancholme River Deep Clean will take place on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - August 26, 27 and 28.
"If you notice anything in the river that shouldn’t be there (bikes, shopping trolleys, etc) please do let us know," the council says in advance of the work.
You can notify staff about things you've spotted via the Brigg Town Council Facebook page or by emailing enquiries@briggmarkettown.co.uk
Over the past six years the amount of rubbish needing removal in Brigg has reduced and the river is said to be cleaner with more varied wildlife observed during the clean-ups.
PICTURED: A recent view of the Old River Ancholme, taken from the County Bridge. Either side of the landmark structure, discarded rubbish sometimes collects, especially if green weed is present. Weed is cut by the Environment Agency and we gather a request has been made for another to take place in the near future.
