Horncastle volunteers turn out for spring clean up
With one party working from a canoe on the river and the others from the banks, the group worked along the River Waring from the Town Bridge to the junction with the River Bain.
This was followed by a couple of quick sorties alongside Tesco’s and near The Ship Inn.

Michael Hieatt, Horncastle RiverCare co-ordinator, said: “It was a good effort.
“Thank you to all those who came.
“The next RiverCare session will be in about three months time, so please look out for posters in the town and on our Facebook page or ring 01507 525071.
“Additional volunteers are always welcome.”
