YOUNGSTERS aged between ten and 17 who have been in trouble with the police have teamed up to work with a conservation group.

The Youth Offending Team (YOT) in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, which helps youngsters avoid re-offending, are working with Bilton Conservation Group.

A spokesman said: "We have worked closely with YOT to develop a programme of work that needed doing to keep on top of our many maintenance tasks."
