It’s disappointing to see a few people are still leaving their trash at the Calder despite all the efforts being made to improve our outdoor beauty spots. Look at this mess, just left lying around discarded at Milheugh this weekend. One again, the idiotic, selfishness of a few people when the sun comes out, has […]
As with Friday, the sunshine once again brought large groups of youths out to the Calder again yesterday, Saturday 30 May 2020.
