The Keep Britain Tidy Love Where You Live campaign aims to clear up the line side and embankments that run alongside the lines running between Leamington and Hatton stations.

Volunteers from Network Rail and the Friends of Leamington Station are helping out with the effort, while the council is providing the equipment needed for the clean-up, which is taking place on Friday.

District councillor David Shilton, responsible for policy on neighbourhood services, said: “I encourage all of our residents and visitors to support Keep Britain Tidy’s Love Where You Live Campaign. In doing so they will continue to help make Warwick District a great place to live, work and visit.”
