CHILDREN in Bacup and Stacksteads helped Groundwork Rossendale plant 15,000 daffodils.

Thorn County, Saint Saviour, Holy Trinity, the Bacup branch of Barclays Bank and the Bacup Consortium were involved.

Groundwork representative Joannne Regan said: "The children worked hard and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the planting. They can't wait for spring."

The project has been funded by the Lancashire Environmental Fund and the Single Regeneration Budget.
