River Clean Up Project

After the Boxing Day floods in 2015 the Calder Valley has been looking a little worse for wear. However, it will take more than that to sink this area and the Alternative Christmas and Handmade Parade events in Hebden Royd this weekend really showed their resourceful, community spirit.
