Cardiff Rivers Group clean up Llandaff Weir

Cardiff Rivers Group has been out and about again this bank holiday weekend fishing out everything including the kitchen sink from the city's streams. Yesterday, nine volunteers were out in force to clean up the area around Llandaff Weir – finding trapped metal, bikes, piping and 12 trollies! The group donned wellies and wetsuits to find the trapped waste which was later collected by Cardiff Council. See this slideshow of pictures from the day: Member of the group Nigel Barry said: "It was amazing to see what could be achieved by nine volunteers in just 2 hours. The weir was absolutely covered in metal and after an amazing effort by the guys, it is now litter-free and flowing freely again. It is extremely therapeutic to stand back after all your hard work and see what we have achieved and very rewarding when passers-by thank you for your efforts." Those who want to join Cardiff Rivers Group on their next clean up on Sunday 13 June should contact Louise Tambini on 07824 504790 or email [email protected]
