A community clean-up session was held in Hillhouse yesterday.

Volunteers from the Huddersfield Ahmadiyya Muslim Association joined community volunteers at wasteland between the Slubbers Arms and St John’s Road.

They cleared some land by the disused railway viaduct, which was littered with household rubbish including settees, tin cans and bags.

These were dumped there despite the fact that the Sita recycling plant is close by.

The rubbish collected will be taken away by Kirklees Council.

The clean-up was organised by Stephen Priest, a member of the Friends of Longley Woods voluntary group that takes care of woodlands in Huddersfield.

He said: “Pieces of spare land don’t have to be piled high with rubbish.

“Everyone benefits from having a tidy piece of land which is green and pleasant to look at.

“A hour-long intensive effort from volunteers can make a big difference.”

Thanks to the efforts of volunteers like Stephen places like the Longley Woods nature reserve have been transformed.

Volunteers also recently took part in a clean-up at two woods in the Lockwood area.

Stephen is offering help to other communities wishing to transform patches in their areas.

He can be contacted on 07932 658569.
