A team of divers from Northampton Scuba School spent six hours cleaning the River Nene in Northampton on Saturday, 19 September. During the event, they collected various items, including two old shopping trolleys, a milk churn, several car tyres, an old bike, a drill, and a charger. The clean-up was organized in partnership with Northampton Active and the Northampton Rowing Club, with the goal of removing as much litter as possible from the river. The organizers from Northampton Scuba School emphasized their ongoing commitment to maintaining the cleanliness of the River Nene. They plan to conduct similar clean-up efforts in the future. A spokesperson for the school described the event as "an amazing day" and praised it as "a brilliant example of what can be achieved through teamwork, support, and a shared commitment to our local environment." To assist the divers, Northampton Active provided two canoes, and the Northampton Canoe and Kayak Club contributed a ladder to help divers safely enter and exit the water. People who were not diving were invited to join the litter-picking team along the riverbank, where they collected additional waste. The organizers noted that the amount of waste collected underscores the ongoing need for environmental efforts in the area. They are planning to continue these regular clean-up dives throughout the year to help protect the river and its surroundings.
