PEOPLE in the Haughton area of Darlington will show their support for a campaign to keep the town tidy at the weekend.

Residents will carry out a litter pick along the banks of the River Skerne, between Great Burdon and Mill Lane. The group will also plant daffodil bulbs in the area.

The event is part of Darlington Borough Council's anti-litter campaign, which was launched two years ago.

The borough council has installed bins for rubbish, dog litter, chewing gum and cigarettes and the council's wardens have also issued many on-the-spot £50 fines for littering and back lane refuse.
