Scarborough Borough Council showed its support for Love Where You Live with a community litter collection at South Cliff Gardens in the town on 4 October. The council's community environment unit organised the event which involved Volunteers in Parks for Scarborough and children from the local Wheatcroft School.

"It's a real sign that people care about the town and how it looks, as well as wanting to save the environment. It is just one of the many events organised by the community environment unit with the aim of making Scarborough a place to be enjoyed by people of all ages, whether they are tourists or residents," said Roger Burnett, community environment officer for Scarborough Borough Council.

Pictured right, are some of the 36 children from Wheatcroft School who enjoyed participating in the event as part of the national Love Where You Live campaign. As well as taking part in the litter pick, the event also helped to raise awareness of their environmental responsibilities.

South Cliff Gardens is an area of outstanding natural beauty, overlooking Scarborough's South Bay. The gardens (pictured above) are listed in the Register of Historic Gardens and are well used by tourists and residents alike. Stretching for a mile, the gardens have many colourful flowerbeds. It is also the site of Scarborough Spa and the building used as the hospital in ITV's The Royal. Both are locations which will be familiar to people and are often tourist sites.
