Milestone for Longhirst Litter Pickers
Members of the intrepid Longhirst Litter Pickers have marked 20 years of monthly rubbish collections in almost all weathers from the roadside verges around the village.

Local residents joined the event, which took place at the monthly coffee morning held on a Saturday in Longhirst Village Hall.

Beware of scams
Sadly during the pandemic and now during the energy and cost of living crisis there are people out there who will try to use these situations as a way to defraud others. Please continue to be vigilant when dealing with people online or by phone. Scams can take many forms, presently they may focus on energy support or advice, but could also be about insurance policies, pensions transfers, or high-return investment opportunities.
