WORKERS from a North-East mine have been pitching in to tidy up a section of railway line that had become cluttered with litter.

Employees from the East Cleveland mine, run by ICL Boulby, have pitched in to tidy up a local section of railway line because of the amount of rubbish which had accumulated on it.

Officers from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council contacted the company after a complaint was lodged by a member of the public

The person was concerned about the rubbish and debris that had collected alongside the line and bridge at Rosecroft wood near Loftus.

The area is near the new Gleeson housing site on Rosecroft Lane.

Discussions between the two companies led to a deal being quickly reached to clear up of the area.

A team was despatched from the Boulby site last weekend and the entire area has now been cleaned up, with rubbish moved and taken away.
