Members of the Allerdale Youth Council joined in a clean-up in Flimby last week.
Mayport Mayor Peter Kendall and town councillor Christine Slater were joined by 10 young people when they carried out the clean on Flimby shore and the village playing field.
The event was arranged and short notice and Mr Kendall praised those who had taken part and said other events would be organised in the future.
All those who took part were treated to free refreshments at Woody's, the Flimby cafe.
