A beauty spot has been given an early spring clean thanks to an inspirational youngster from Bordon and his army of volunteers.

Nearly 60 volunteers of all ages recently took part in a litter pick around Bordon Inclosure organised by nine-year-old Thomas Gray.

The youngster organised the pick as he “wanted to make Bordon look better” but was blown away with the response with councillors and the Deadwater Valley Trust backing his campaign.

Volunteers shrugged off the cold temperatures to fill up more than a dozen bags during the Sunday morning pick, with empty cans, crisp packets and an office chair being among the recovered items.

Thomas was chuffed with the turnout and is keen on organising another pick soon.
