SELFLESS councillors and McDonald’s staff gave up their time to spruce up areas of Trowbridge in support of the national Great British Spring Clean campaign.

Trowbridge Mayor Deborah Halik, Cllr David Halik and 14 volunteers from the Trowbridge fast food chain spent hours cleaning up the town, clearing 17 bags of litter in the process.

The team, who also came across abandoned bike wheels, fishing rods and tyres, went along Bradley Road, Boundary Walk and up by the football club too.

McDonald’s franchisee Mike Guerin said: “I was really proud to see everyone come together and help tidy up the local area. As a business we understand the important role that we play in making the area a better place.”

It is the second year McDonald’s is supporting the campaign .

The mayor added: “We all had a great time litter picking and enjoyed doing our bit to help keep the local area clean and tidy.”
