Liz, Ros and Ingrid joined members of the East Croydon Community Organisation (ECCO) on a thankfully rain free night to help tidy up the flower beds along the Boulevard.

Tasks included sweeping leaves, litter picking, weeding and planting flowers in a memorial garden.

At the end of the evening we had collected 13 bags of litter and leaves for the council to collect.

We said our goodbyes, wished each other a Merry Christmas and looked forward to many more successful missions in the New Year.
