As the nights get chillier and Goodgym runners start seeking the warmth of indoor tasks, a few brave individuals remain out in the dark to keep the streets in check.

Tonight it was the job of Michelle, Luis, Harvey, Georgia and Andy - who with gloves donned and litter pickers ready went in search of a challenge. Scouting around Brentford initially we were struggling to find more than the ocassional receipt, but after some teamwork and searching we managed to find a wide assortment of rubbish, ranging from discarded masks and gloves, to a takeaway container full of noodles, to even a fresh £10 note! (which was donated appropriately)

After 45 minutes of solid searching, picking and bagging, we had two bulging sacks full of rubbish and ready for disposal. For now the streets of Brentford are a slightly tidier place!
