Springing into action
Litter heroes from across Haringey turned out in force for the Great British Spring Clean last weekend.
Tidy-ups were held from Queen’s Wood to Bruce Castle Park, with dozens of bags of litter taken away.
Ed Richards, from Friends of Bruce Castle Park, said: “It was great to see people of all backgrounds from the community helping to make the park even more beautiful than it already is. We have a monthly litter pick and it was bolstered by a number of new arrivals who came along as part of the Great British Spring Clean.”
Well done to all the Haringey litter heroes – look out for more pics in the next edition of Haringey People magazine.
