A community clean-up designed to tackle anti-social behaviour in part of Blackburn has got underway.

Blackburn with Darwen Community Safety Partnership is targeting the Roe Lee area as part of the Borough's Beatsweep initiative.

The operation involves the police, council, fire and probation services and Twin Valley Homes.

Community beat manager PC Steve Maggs said: "We want residents to know we are taking action to address their concerns.

"This is just the start of a much wider campaign."
