WPG secretary, John Bogle said: “A very big thank you to all the volunteers who turned out for the Wick Paths Group litter pick.

Allan Bruce, WPG vice chairman said: “It was great to see so many people turn out for the Wick Paths Group’s first organised event of 2025 on such a lovely morning.

“The brae behind the fountain was particularly bad with litter.

“The area is looking so much better now, ready for the spring bulbs that are starting to break through.”
