Emma, William and Freddie clean up during Harrogate half-term holidays

When mother of three, Helen Widdowson, asked her children what they wanted to do during the February half-term holidays, they said they wanted to clean up their community.

Emma, nine, William, five, and their friend Freddie, 10, walked their usual route to school, Saltergate Infant and Juniors, and collected two bags of rubbish, which they disposed of in their own bins at home.

Ms Widdowson said: “They are so proud of their efforts, as are we.“It’s disappointing the amount of rubbish we did find in such a small area, but we’ve tried to do our bit.”
