Junior Minister Lord Gardiner joined local Councillors, Ipswich MP Ben Gummer and the Greenways team at the Great British Spring Clean event at Stoke Bridge today.
The Tidy Britain Group event was one of two taking part in the town today and within an hour around a dozen big sacks were filled with rubbish discarded on private land along that end of Grafton Way. Cans, bottles and fast food cartons were all prominent among the rubbish.
Borough Council Leader David Ellesmere said the litter hotspot was on private land on a site earmarked for development.
A second clean-up took place at Murray Park and was led by South East Area Committee Chair Sarah Barber and the Friends of Murray Park.
