RESIDENTS are being urged to clean up their town.

Saltburn was named best small coastal resort in last year's Northumbria in Bloom competition and judges will visit the town again on Thursday, April 15, for this year's spring judging.

Determined that the town does not lose its standing, the Saltburn 500 Club has organised a series of litter blitzes.

Rubbish bags and children's gloves will be distributed outside the Somerfield supermarket between 10am and 12.30pm over the next two Saturdays and the litter collections will take place in the week starting Easter Sunday.
