Volunteers from the Thames Anglers Conservancy gave up a few hours on the hottest Sunday of the year to help clean up an area at Walton.

Desborough Island is high up on a list of regular areas that the TAC visit, there is a major rubbish problem during the summer.

Volunteers walked the entire reach pulling out all manner of rubbish whilst at the same time engaging with members of the public and anglers alike.

The final result was they collected a duvet, a beanbag, a large boat cushion, a coat, large Elmbridge council plastic banner, an 8ft x 3tf felt and plywood roof, an estate agents sign, plastic piping, a metal basket, nine bin bags filled with litter and more.

Hot but smiling, thanks for your efforts.
