A school in Dalton is relying on the kindness and generosity of the community to help out with its maintenance.

Dalton St Mary's Church of England Primary School put out the plea for support on Wednesday, asking locals if they could contribute to the management of its grounds.

They said: "[This will involve] regular grass cutting, cutting back trees and branches, up keep and clearing of the pond.

"If you know of anyone or a local company [who] would be interested, please get in touch."

You can reach out to the school office by calling 01229 462721 or by messaging via their Facebook page.
