RESIDENTS, councillors and business people in Winwick have joined forces to clean up the village.

The Saturday morning litter pick was organised by the Winwick Lib Dem focus team following complaints about the amount of rubbish in the village.

And for the second time this year, the clean-up was supported by staff at Burger King, on Delph Lane, which not only took part but also provided cold drinks for the litter pickers.

Andy Cliff, event organiser, said: "I was pleased with the number of people who turned up to help.

"We feel that we've made a real difference and the litter pick was our way of giving something back to the community."
