Not so long ago in a galaxy very close by, people from all walks of life spent time cleaning up Rushden High Street at the ‘May the Fourth Bin With You’ litter pick.

Taking place on the date widely celebrated as Star Wars day, May 4, the litter pick was attended by concerned locals, children and councillors.

“The sun was shining as they collected a significant amount of litter enhancing the appearance of the High Street and surrounding streets.

“A big thank you to everyone who participated in the initiative to make Rushden a cleaner and tidier place to live. More litter picks are expected and details will be provided, when available.”

The day was part of the town council’s ‘Don’t Rubbish Rushden’ campaign, which hopes to keep the area cleaner, and safer for all.
