Rubbish in the river

Alistair from Pukete

My wife has just returned from swimming in the river at Delamere Rd and said a guy came down carrying a black plastic rubbish bag, friendly and said hello, went out to the edge of the rocks and sat down away from where she was swimming. When he left she noticed the bag was scrunched up in his hand and obviously empty.
Description: Grey haired, glasses, 50-60's, T-shirt & shorts and wearing a high vis vest with a small dog white/brown.
This is just NOT ON – keep your eyes out: and YOU – don't dirty our river!
