Stock N Lock storage volunteers clean up canalside

Staff of a Worcester storage company have been spending their free time cleaning up the canalside.

For the last few weeks the team at Stock N Lock Self Storage in Weir Lane, Lower Wick, led by business manager Anne Hutson have been trawling the canal towpaths from Diglis to Blackpole – even as far as Sixways – filling sacks with discarded wrappers, empty cans and crisp packets.

Taking matters into her own hands, she organised a rota of her colleagues and persuaded them to join her on her early morning walkabouts. “We all need to do our bit and look after our countryside, Lock Stock and barrel,” Miss Hutson added.
