AN ARMY of Bromyard teenagers are hitting the front line in the battle against litter.

Things are changing at the Army Cadet Force - there’s a new sergeant at the helm and numbers are rising.

But their battle to win hearts and minds starts in Bromyard with a litter sweep on April 19.

Sergeant Richard Westlake took over in November and wants the detachment to get more involved in the community.

Numbers have expanded since a recruitment drive and members can expect plenty of land, air and water based activities.

The litter pick is an early mission, while the cadets have also tried skiing in the Scottish Highlands.

Sgt Westlake, who recently completed a foundation course with fellow instructor, Sgt Wood, said: “I want Bromyard to be more aware of what we’re doing. I want these kids to do different things so if anyone needs some community help then we’d like to hear.”
