A COMMUNITY group's campaign to improve the environment in their town has got off to a flying start.

Guisborough Market Town Initiative wants the public to become involved in plans to landscape the Priory grounds and create a cycleway and walkway at Chapel Beck.

Members of the group were overjoy-ed when more than 80 people turned up to the first meeting and six people promised to join a new committee. As well as conducting feasibility studies into the cycleway and landscaping schemes, a marketing strategy for the town is being compiled.
