1st Heworth Scouts has being cleaning up the town to put them in the running to win £500.The highly organised group took on a cleaning challenge in the local town, to improve the area for the community and the Hempland Lane Allotments.
The group of 20 Scouts’ participated in a litter pick taking place from Melrosgate end of beck, going over to Heworth Holme and up via the Hempland Lane Allotments and though to Stray Road play park.
The litter pick saw the areas cleared of rubbish and people's discarded items, from tyres, to bottles, to even a TV ariel! Of course the ‘green’ group made sure everything that could be recycled was. The end result was that they only had one bin full of general rubbish, everything else was recycled.
Scout leader, David Clayton said: “When we saw the article, about the WD-40 competition, in our local newspaper, it provided us with a great reason to do something to help our local community and the chance put us in the running to win £500 to boost facilities at our Scout HQ.
“Our litter pick has resulted in us having great relationships with Heworth Holme Group, the allotment association and of course the local community.
“I’m sure the Scouts’ efforts will make the areas a pleasanter place to be.”
