The return of Tintwistle's scarecrow competition

The parish council's annual scarecrow competition has rolled round again.

The contest closes on Monday (2 August) and the judges are already touring the village trying to pick a winner.

Councillor Shaun Grace, who has organised it, said: "It's been another great turnout."

The theme of the competition is the environment and nature's heroes.

Proceeds will be donated to the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
