Ilkley MP Robbie Moore joined the volunteers from Little Free Ilkley at the weekend to mark the group's second two year anniversary of community clean-ups.

Over the past 24 months the group have cleared mountains of dropped litter to keep Ilkley and nearby moorlands clean and tidy - they average about 1,000 bags a year as a group.

Sunday had a Halloween theme, which included music from the Stephandhersax and food was provided by Rika of One Tivoli Place Guesthouse.

MP Robbie Moore said:

"It was great to have litter groups from Baildon, Burley, Guiseley and Keighley joining us, and even with it being a wet soggy Sunday we cleared 28 bags.

"If you haven’t been along yet, I’d really encourage you to join the group’s next litter pick. It’s a fantastic way to get involved in the community, and you can really see the difference that’s being made.

"Congratulations to everyone on a successful second year, and here’s to many more to come!"
