Volunteer litter pickers were in action again last weekend collecting 90 bags of rubbish from woodland adjacent to Moulsecoomb Way.
The event was organised by dog walkers Lee Juney and Amanda Wright, supported by Brighton & Hove City Council ranger Garry Meyer, from the Tidy Up Team, who provided equipment.
