NEWS Shopper journalists will turn litter-pickers in a bid to help Bromley’s clean and green image.

After reporting on a political spat between Labour members of the London Assembly and Bromley Council Tories, we invited the politicians to a clear-up session this weekend.

The row centred on the borough’s famed “clean and green” image after the Labour assembly members took photos of numerous sites of dumped rubbish and graffiti.

Councillors from all three parties have agreed to join us on Keston and Hayes commons from 10am on Saturday.

News Shopper group editor Andrew Parkes said: “We’re actually going to go out and get on with it while others squabble. No other newspaper has taken a stand.”
