A team of spring cleaning volunteers took to the streets of Driffield last weekend to help tidy up the town.
Despite the cold weather on Saturday 23 March, the Dusting Down Driffield team managed to tackle Market Place and part of Middle Street North in the first town tidying operation of the year.
Deputy town mayor Coun Heather Venter said: “One of my pet hates is chewing gum and it is all over the town - it is just filthy. I just wish people would think before spitting it out.
“However it was amazing what a difference we made even in an hour. We didn’t expect it to be as cold as that - we couldn’t feel our fingers!”
The next Dusting Down Driffield event will be held on Saturday 20 April and anyone is welcome to come along and help clean up the town.
