Residents living in Harraby, Carlisle, are being asked to give up their time and help clear up their community.
Local school and community groups have been invited to get involved. It's being held today between noon and 2pm at Harraby Community Centre, Edgehill Road.
“Litter is a major issue for local residents and we want to work alongside communities to try and stamp it out as much as we can.
"The community clear-up event will provide us with the opportunity to work alongside residents to tackle the problem and make a big difference to the local environment.”
