Volunteers have started work on a major clean-up of the Chapelfields estate.  Work was undertaken cleaning and strimming the Community Centre forecourt and surrounding grassed areas on Bramham Road on Thursday.

On Saturday it is hoped that all Chapelfields residents will join in and clean up the area outside their homes.

Gardening equipment has been loaned to the project by the City of York Council.

Attention is being paid to communal and public areas, but residents are also being asked to ensure that private hedges and trees are cut back from footpaths.

The project is being sponsored by the Westfield Ward Committee.

On Saturday, volunteers are asked to assemble at Sanderson Court Community Centre on Bramham Road from 9:00am
