MOBILE phone users can text their votes for a nature reserve to be given a revamp.

Foxhill Bank Management Group is appealing to residents to vote for the Oswaldtwistle reserve in BBC Radio Lancashire's Breathing Places campaign. Winning the competition would result in a swat' team carrying out a full clean-up.

Antony Flanagan, chairman of Foxhill Bank Management Group, said: "Last year, volunteers built a viewing platform and steps. Vandals destroyed them by fire weeks later."
