‘We’ll provide the litter pickers’ - Members of the public invited to tidy two South Shields parks
A community group is calling on members of the public to help them tidy two South Shields parks.
The Friends of North and South Marine Park are inviting members of the public to come and get involved in their monthly litter pick.
The litter pick will be held at the South Shields seafront parks on Saturday, August 29.
Those interested in taking part are asked to meet the lockup, on Lawe Road (near The Marine pub) at 10.30am.
Anyone wishing to take part must bring a pair of gloves and the Friends of North and South Marine Park will provide volunteers with a litter picker.
A social media post said: “Join us the for the monthly litter pick in North and south Marine Parks on Saturday the 29th of August.

“Bring a pair of gloves and we'll provide the litter pickers.
