Hinchley Wood residents are invited to dig out their paintbrushes and tackle a local eyesore on Saturday, May 26.

The Love Where You Live community action day will see neighbours clubbing together to paint a stretch of vandalised fence between Strenue Sports Club and Lynwood Road estate.

The graffiti cover-up takes place from 10am until 1pm.

Councillor Glenn Dearlove said: “We’d like as many people as possible to come along on Saturday and be part of something that helps their community, by giving as much or as little time as they’re able too.

“It’s a lovely way of bringing neighbours together and getting people to feel proud of the great places they live by contributing to the local area.”

Elmbridge Council will supply the paint and residents are asked to bring their own paintbrushes.
