The owner of a Georgian manor estate is launching a campaign to rid the district of litter after he claims mounting piles are blighting his business.

Duncan Clark, 52, who runs Braxted Park in Great Braxted is fed up of the litter strewn across his land and fears of the bad impression it gives to his stately wedding venue.

After discovering a McDonalds comment card amonst the rubbish, Mr Clark has now taken it upon himself to launch an initiative with the company as well as political leaders and schools to crack down on the litter problem.
