Estimated tons of sweets were given +##0 out to happy trick-or-treaters, and as with +##0 most other years a lot of this vast total was +##0 dropped on the night. Even a week and a half +##0 after Hallowe'en, many kilograms of sweets +##0 still litter our pleasant woodlands. + +##0 After dozens of letters regarding the situation, +##0 the Hurnscald Council has said that the best +##0 solution would be to organise a team of +##0 volunteers to work on collecting dropped sweets +##0 and disposing of them - but it has yet to +##0 organise any such thing. + +##0 In the meantime, why not do your bit and collect +##0 some sweets for yourself?
