A GROUP of scouts rolled up their sleeves to clean-up a Holmfirth grot-spot.

The team from the 1st Holmfirth Scout Group joined forces with firefighters from Holmfirth fire station to tackle litter in the River Holme.

They spent two hours filling 25 bin-bags of rubbish.

They also recovered seven traffic cones and a shovel.

The project was part of the scouts’ work towards their community badges.

The firefighters acted as safety officers.
