Three-year-old starts her own litter campaign

Three-year-old Matilda was so upset about the litter in her street she started her own picking campaign.

Matilda’s dad, Jake from South Shields, told 5 live she had been noticing the litter and told him she would like to start clearing it up.

Jake said that because of Matilda, North Tyneside council put extra bins and warning notices up and organised a joint clean-up.

He said “We’re proud of her. But it’s upsetting that it’s been left to a three year old to be the catalyst of this”.
