Volunteers who helped clear rubbish from a pond in Stevenage on Saturday made some surprising finds. 

A group of Green Space Volunteers clearing rubbish from Chells Manor Pond found fence rails and posts, chairs, plastic pipes and even a car bumper!

They also found two pumpkins and collected two bags full of bottles.

A spokesperson for Stevenage Borough Council said: "We'd like to say a big thank you to our Green Space Volunteers, who helped to clear rubbish from Chells Manor Pond on Saturday."
