YOUNG volunteers will help spruce-up a Haworth youth shelter.

National Citizen Service members are giving the shelter, off Apsley Street and behind the Gas Street car park, a makeover.

They will join Bradford Council staff and councillors at the event, on Saturday, August 26.

"The shelter needs a new coat of paint and a good tidy-up around it – which parks and landscapes staff have begun by cutting-back overgrown vegetation," said ward officer, Liz Parker.

"The team will also hopefully be joined by some local young people, who are being asked to come up with new ideas on how to reduce the litter problem in the area."
