Tilgate councillor Francis Guidera said: “It was a fun, family afternoon and we managed to fill an entire household recycling bin to the brim with recyclable bottles, cans, and plastic drinks containers over the three hours we walked the area, and about 4 bin liners with crisp packets and various other non-recyclable rubbish.

“Southgate has some great, energetic and proactive Conservative candidates again this year, that’s for sure!”
