Another bin cleaned this morning. One more to go and that’s one park free of graffiti.

@JamBobHob Absolutely

@Charlie_Stevens More importantly let’s hope they’re emptied regularly!

East Croydon seems to be getting new bins… Let’s hope they go where they are needed. We shall see!

@Telegraph I doubt Croydon will go Reform

@x_brum Great work there. 77 bags is a crazy amount of litter!

It's fantastic to be back in Digbeth today to help the local residents clean up the area. I have to admit, it wasn't a pretty sight but somebody's got to do it. A massive 77 bags of litter off the streets of Birmingham. #OneMillionbags #Cleanerbrum @CllrMajid @BrumLeader

@SW1P_BP I’m pleased Sainsbury’s have some competition! They have two stores close to the station.

@Charlie_Stevens Do you really need yet another supermarket???

New Tesco in East Croydon Very pleased

@joantinney @x_brum Yes, you’re right!

@Charlie_Stevens @x_brum I hope they do and we don’t have similar littering that’s often outside the Sainsbury’s Local at the top of the road !

@SamirDwesar Yep, it's on Cherry Orchard Road underneath the two tower blocks.

@Charlie_Stevens Ooh that’s convenient! Where is this?

@x_brum No there isn’t!! It’s a posh building though so I’m sure they’ll keep it tidy!

@Charlie_Stevens Is there a bin outside? 🤣

Good idea

Full bag from one side of this road. People are dumping stuff from their cars, unfortunately.

@mike56200 Good work there. It’s the same here, too. I’ve seen people use trolleys from nearby retail parks as substitute bins next to bus stops!

The tediously inevitable "mess in the bus stop" round here. Never any bins and only sporadic cleaning. I check my local ones each time I go out and tidy up. #litterattractslitter #cleanupbritain

@will_linsdell @RowennaDavis Thanks Will. Yep, we have to tackle the number of young people not in employment, education or training. If the Croydon baccalaureate helps more people access meaningful work, then that’s fantastic.

@Charlie_Stevens Nice one Charlie. A Croydon baccalaureate is a scheme that @RowennaDavis will deliver if she becomes Mayor. We have an excellent college in Croydon and need to help young people with that next step in building their careers.

Great to discuss apprenticeships in a House of Lords reception this afternoon. No litter in here, that’s for sure!

Productive morning. Two bags (and half a cone!) collected opposite Croydon’s old Airport. I definitely underestimated how long this would take! I’ll have to come back to finish the job.

@Rodjmontague011 I report them to the council and they collect them.

@Charlie_Stevens Do you take the bin bags home with you or get them collected

Two bags collected near a retail park today. The scale of litter in this area is frankly unbelievable.

@x_brum Haha, yes!

@Charlie_Stevens Tbh that would probably scare the shit out of me if I walked around a corner and came across this 😅 😬 😳

We need this everywhere

@SDoxat I'm not sure. They are both normal waste bins.

@Charlie_Stevens Good, but why are the bins so close together? If one is only for dog waste, I'm wondering if the bins could be confused by some people??

Croydon’s town centre gets new bins. The old ones looked terrible. A small, inexpensive change that makes a big difference to the High Street.
