RESIDENTS of Netherthird, Craigens and Skerrington are being urged to roll up their sleeves and help tackle litter in their neighbourhood.

A new anti-litter group is holding a community meeting at Netherthird Community Centre at 4pm on Thursday, March 26, with an open invitation to anyone who wants to see the area looking cleaner and tidier.

It comes off the back of a push locally to get more groups and people involved in helping to tidy the area.

The Netherthird session will bring together local volunteers to discuss problem areas, plan regular clean-ups and encourage more people to take pride in their surroundings.

All equipment will be provided, meaning participants only need to turn up with suitable clothing and a willingness to get involved.

Families, young people and older residents are all welcome, with organisers keen to stress that even an hour of help can make a visible difference to streets and green spaces.
