Volunteers are being urged to grab their wellies and bright outdoor clothes to help clear vegetation from the stream which runs down Wesley Street in Old Glossop.
Old Glossop Residents Association (OGRA) are holding a stream clean on Saturday 12 November from 10am until 12 noon.
Janet Bingham from OGRA said: “During the summer there’s been a big build-up of vegetation in the stream. Clearing it will help prevent the brook from overflowing or flooding in heavy rain.
“We welcome any help from local residents. If you’re coming along, please wear suitable clothing visible to passing traffic and, if possible, bring along any useful tools – such as wheelbarrows, shears, loppers, secateurs, brushes, and shovels.
“We’ll provide a skip – and hot drinks will be available in the parish church and from Shepley’s to reward your efforts.”
