Hide AdDavid Spence from Fife Street Champions, who was recognised with an award by Keep Scotland Beautiful for his commitment to cleaning up his local area in May, said: “We have been busy in the "Den" in Cardenden with the main effort coming from Andrew Dunlop and Keith Wotherspoon.
“The latest trip this week resulted in a huge collection of 33 bags of rubbish and 60 tyres as well as a discarded cement mixer and all sorts of other discarded items.
“All of this was taken away by Forestry and Land Scotland who have been working with us for a while.
“Anyone who is in the habit of walking through the Den can have a much more pleasant experience now that this unsightly mess has been removed from the bushes and the Den burn that runs through that area.”
