Sutton got a special make-over this weekend in preparation for the Jubilee and Olympic celebrations.

A team of volunteers have been tidying-up graffiti, picking-up litter and replanting Sutton’s flowerbeds to spruce up the town.

Councillor Jill Whitehead, chair of the environment and neighbourhoods local committee on Sutton Council, said: "I’m delighted that so many people take such pride in their local environment.

The council works hard to keep the borough clean and green, but we welcome anyone who wants to lend a hand and give their area something extra."
