A FOUR-month-old baby was the youngest participant in a village litter pick held on Sunday. The eighth annual Sonning Common Spring Clean saw 90 villagers dispatched to target litter hot spots as well as residential areas in the village. Volunteers gathered at the village hall in Wood Lane at 10am to collect hi-viz vests, rubbish bags and litter pickers, before being dispersed throughout the village. Organiser Emma Lawrence, 47, said that despite the hard work of village warden Tony Parisi, as well as “village gardeners”, the problem of litter still persisted in the village. They then congregated in the hall where eight members of Sonning Common Women’s Institute provided tea, coffee and cakes.
