Posh-Up Portland Road 2008

• On Saturday May 10, we all threw on our luminous jackets to clear up some of the rubbish in our area. We met outside the Leisure Centre at 10 a.m. and spent the next few hours giving the whole area a good scrub up. See some of the pictures and find out about Street Champions too by clicking here.
