A team of volunteers spent the weekend cleaning up mountains of rubbish found floating in Lincoln’s rivers.
Marking the start of their 2019 campaign, the hardy group took to Sincil Bank on Saturday, January 12.
The team found chairs, bicycles, a buggy and a shopping trolley, all believed to have deliberately been thrown in the water.
Around 20 people turned up for cleaning, with passers by stopping to offer their thanks.
If you’d like to join the team, they are next meeting on February 23 at 10am on the corner of Sausthorpe Street and Sincil Bank.
Big thanks to all the team for their effort and great work over the past months of clean up.

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
