PICTURES: Clean team targets Pefferside Park in Ross-shire county town of Dingwall

A LEISURE area precious to generations of folk within Ross-shire's county town was on the receiving end of some much-needed tender loving care thanks to a real team effort.

Pefferside Park in Dingwall was targeted for a litter pick which saw a local business, Dingwall and Seaforth ward councillors and children from the nearby primary school join forces to make a real difference.

Helping to pull the effort together was Dingwall Tesco community champion, Michelle Mackay.

She said: "I led a team of Tesco employees to do a litter pick in Perfferside Park.

"We were joined by local councillors Sean Kennedy and Margaret Paterson.

"Also helping out were Dingwall Primary School's Gaelic P7s.

"We had a great few hours and cleared a lot of rubbish up. Councillor Kennedy did a sterling job clearing the pond as well!

"I ensured all the rubbish was recycled and I took it back to our store to dispose off."
