Volunteers set up new friends group

A new friends group has been created to help out a woman who has been looking after a Darwen beauty spot by herself.

About 15 volunteers turned out to help Betty Mossop who has been cleaning up around Shorey Bank.

The volunteers have now set up a Friends of Shorey Bank to regularly tidy up the area.

Mrs Mossop, of Nelson Street, told the Lancashire Telegraph she was glad some more people were doing their bit for the town.

Sudell councillor Jane Oates added Mrs Mossop deserved some help. She said:

There were plenty of people who wanted to help Betty and we thought it would be nice to get a group together to make things easier for her.

We all want to try and keep Darwen looking nice.
