Tonight was a good night for a little bit of everything with a variety of tasks from Cllrs Elaine and Steph. With David, the three Cllrs are the Community Custodians for the Hanover Ward; a colourful area of Brighton between the city centre and the Universities.

Armed with gardening gloves, litter pickers, paint and rollers, we split into pairs and small groups to cover as much of the Ward as possible. Due to Hanover's location, it can attract antisocial behaviour and so, by keeping the area tidy and painting over the graffiti, the community can try to prevent this happening on their door step.

Welcome back to Diego who showed real attention to detail and surface preparation before painting. He really put myself and Cllr Elaine to shame! Rob and Sarah also armed with paint, returned Cllr Steph covered in paint! I can only guess you guys worked efficiently and slapped that paint on!

Jane and Pippa went on a rubbish hunt with litter pickers, leaving the rest of the gang to tackle the weeds and rubbish outside the Alms Houses (a never ending task!)

With all the tasks completed there was just enough time to do two fast laps of The Level based on feel rather than technology. Remember the secret to running fast, is to run.... fast....
