Chair of Nantwich Running Club, Steve Epps, said: "I just want to say a big thank you to all club members that attended and helped put this litter pick together.

"As a club, we hoped to give something back to the local community and a litter pick seemed a good option. 

"We collected lots of interesting things ranging from odd socks, a pair of shoes, cans of beer, an uneaten sandwich, single use vapes, even a pizza.

"Hopefully we can organise something similar later in the year."
