The Big Leith Clean-up: Leith Links

Greener Leith would like to thank everyone who turned out at the weekend for a brisk clean-up of Leith Links. The weather held out for us, and the only hinderance was a lack of litter pickers - we had more volunteers than the council supplied tools!

Despite this, you can see that local residents hard work had a huge impact, with a sizable number of bags of litter collected together with pallets and other random larger objects. Special mention should be made of David, who got so engrossed in the suprisingly satisfying job of clearing litter from the links, that he unfortunately missed the delicious soup and rolls provided by Out of the Blue - and paid for Leith Links Commnity Council.

This is the second community clean-up we've organised with Leith Links Community Council this year - and serves to underline the commitment local residents are prepared to make to help improve their local park. Leith Links Community Council are also planning to plant even more bulbs on the Links in conjunction with local school kids. More info on that initiative here:
