The Peak District National Park is urging visitors to be more conscious of leaving litter as people flock to the countryside this weekend.
35 tons of waste is collected annually and about 80% of this is ‘clean litter,’ like wrappers and water bottles that are easily disposed of.
There is often and increase in leftover waste during the summer months, but the Peak District National Park has told us they are seeing much more than in previous years.
Tom Marshall says there it has worsened since lockdown restrictions have lifted.
