BUCKHURST Hill will get a spruce-up today when an army of litter pickers sweep through its streets.

The clean-up, organised by the parish council, kicks off at 10am at the authority's offices on Queens Road.

Anyone can take part, and all volunteers will be able to get their hands on some refreshments at the parish offices between 12 noon and 1pm.

Call 020 8498 9933 for more information.

Protective clothing will be provided for all who take part.
