DEREK Croft was hailed a hero by locals after he rescued a kitten from up a tree in Cudworth park over the weekend.
Derek sprung into action after discovering that the cat had already been stuck up the 55 foot tree for two days.
Derek, who is a manager at Greencroft Treework LTD, came to the rescue and climbed up the tree on his ladders, before making the rest of the journey with a harness and rope.
The kitten is currently living in Carlton, although its owner has not been tracked down.
