RESIDENTS in Darwen are being urged to take more pride in their neighbourhood by joining the Ashton Park community clean-up.

The event has been organised by the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside and will take place on Wednesday, August 11, between 10am and noon.

The clean-up has also been supported by Blackburn with Darwen Council, after some tipping and litter dropping in the area made it look untidy.

For further details contact Joanne or Margaret on 01254 662966.
