A volunteer group at a park in Northampton have condemned litter louts as “vile scum”.

Buddies of Beckets, which cares for Beckets Park in the town, posted a picture of the rubbish they found this morning.

A spokesperson said: “We have no words! More trashing of our wonderful #becketspark.

"Hopefully some of the new cctv will identify the vile scum who have no respect for our green space or the wildlife in it.”

The post came after West Northamptonshire Council made a plea for people to “clean for the Queen” and to look after our town during the Jubilee period.

Buddies has reported the matter to the police and anyone with any information can call 101.
