VOLUNTEERS are needed to take part in a litter pick in Pickering on Saturday.

The event is held twice a year, in spring and autumn, with residents invited to help with the tidy up.

Pickering councillor Stephen Jenson, who coordinates the litter pick, said: “We provide bags and litter pickers and we would love to see lots of volunteers spend an hour or so tidying up the town.

“It all helps to keep Pickering clean and tidy and spruce up the town ready for winter.”

Anyone who would like to help with the litter pick should meet at Eastgate car park in the town at 10am.
