Derbyshire Dales District Council set about cleaning the streets of Bakewell after the town hosted its popular carnival event on Saturday, July 4 – with 200 bags of litter being removed in a four-hour period.

A council spokesperson said: “We always support Bakewell's brilliant carnival - and a big shoutout to our street cleaning team who moved into clean up after Saturday's carnival day, ensuring the town looked spick and span first thing on Sunday.

“A seven-man team started at 5.30am on Sunday and between them collected 200 bags of litter. Our small road sweeper vehicle picked up two loads too. The team completed the task in four hours.”
