A PAIR of Highwoods residents have been recognised as community champions for their commitment to cleaning up the community.
Marion Lockwood and John Winn have been awarded Community Champion certificates by ward councillor Gerard Oxford (Ind, Highwoods).
The pair litter pick across Highwoods as many as four times a week and last year collected a total of 107 black bags full of rubbish.
Mr Oxford said: "It’s very sad litter picks are required but there it is - it’s down to residents not disposing of their litter correctly.
"We decided to have Community Champion certificates printed and Marion and John are the first two recipients.
"We are very grateful for all their efforts. They were both very pleased."
