Volunteers rolled up their sleeves to clean up their community.

The Dartford Litter-Pickers group set off from Darenth Village Hall, in Ladywood Road, and spent two hours tidying up the area.

The group, armed with their bags and litter-picking tools, managed to collect 25 bags of rubbish in the area.

Richey Estcourt, 37, one of the volunteers, said: “We hope the area is cleaner now.”
