COPELAND Council staff and residents pulled together to collect a whopping 100 bags of litter in Whitehaven this week.

During two two-hour litter picks on Monday (April 8), volunteers tackled a popular cycle path in Mirehouse and a footpath through Arrowthwaite Woods.

Community services manager, Janice Carrol, said: "It was great to see people out in the sunshine making a real difference to our surroundings. We'd like to say a big thank you and well done to everyone who took part."

The two events were part of Keep Britain Tidy's Great British Spring Clean.
