Twenty eight members of the Inland Waterways Association, Warwickshire Branch, took part in a clean-up of the Grand Union Canal at Leamington on Sunday.

As well as the usual copious bottles and cans, a Christmas tree complete with baubles and stand was also bagged.

The combined haul included 30 bicycles, more than 20 shopping trolleys and 20 bags of rubbish giving a total weight of about four tons.
