A SPRING clean will be held around the Westfield Ward by City of York Council and York and North Yorkshire Trust next week.

A Community Payback team will be in action around Westfield Primary School on Tuesday, but residents can have their say on other nearby areas they want to see tidied up.

Ed Gray, Community Payback Manager, York and North Yorkshire Probation Trust, said: “We are delighted that York’s Community Payback team is able to provide the manpower required to help the council achieve its aims.

“At the same time, this is a terrific initiative which sees offenders giving visible payback to the communities where they have caused most harm through their offending.”
