Girl, 5, starts her own litter patrol to keep Britain tidy
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD girl is so fed up with the amount of litter in her town she's taking matters into her own hands.
Florence Parsons is so fed up with her town being littered that she has set to clean it herself
Armed with her trusty litter-picker and a jacket a few sizes too big Florence Parsons has started cleaning the streets of Yeovil, Somerset herself.
Her mother Judith Parsons, said: “In summer Florence took part in a two-minute street clean in Cornwall and from there she has become obsessed with rubbish.
“She does it everywhere we go – to the library to the shops, everywhere and anywhere, the litter-pickers go with us all the time.“

Florence said: “No excuses actually.
“It's really important to get beaches done, or street cleans.

“If you can get to the beach, fine, it's good, get to there and tidy up some rubbish.
“If you can't, just do a street clean and thank you for having no excuses, the end.”

And it seems Florence's message is getting through with people turning out on drizzly mornings to help pick litter.
Mrs Parsons said that she is a force to be reckoned with and it's very difficult to say no to her.
