A HAMPSHIRE town is holding an autumn litter pick and stream clean in October. 

It's being organised by the Romsey and District Society for Saturday, October 5. 

The society runs the sessions, where people pick litter in the town centre and the Middlebridge Stream, twice a year in order to keep the place neat and tidy.

They meet at the Crosfield Hall car park at 9.15am to collect equipment. 

After the litter pick, the group will be going to Parisienne for a well deserved coffee.

The society is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It was founded after widespread concerns about the demolition of many historic buildings in the market town. The first meeting was held at Crosfield Hall on June 4 1974.

It is now also concerned with helping to shape the future development of the town.
