Rubbish has been left strewn over a Nottingham beauty spot, and bins were full, after revellers made the most of the recent bout of hot weather. The mini-heatwave continued on Thursday (March 24) and forecasters predicted highs of 18C, making the city hotter than Barcelona, where temperatures reaching 15C were forecast.
Mess was seen scattered across The Arboretum and The Forest Recreation Ground on Friday morning (March 25). And people in the area said it was the same situation every year once the weather gets better, with people flocking to beauty spots across the city to enjoy the sun. Empty lager crates, cans and empty bottles were left scattered across The Arboretum, off Waverley Street.
Care assistant Sarah Doch, 38, who jogs in The Arboretum every morning, said: "It's so bad, it is completely trashed. I can see that some students have tried to put things in the bins but they're overflowing.
