Hendon’s MP says he is “incredibly grateful” for the support of local residents for a litter picking event that took place across his constituency last month.

David Pinto-Duschinsky held his regular Big Hendon Litter Pick on Sunday, 25th October with support from residents and community organisations including Burnt Oak Nepalese Community.

The volunteers braved windy conditions to collect rubbish from streets and public spaces in five locations: Montrose and Silkstream Parks, Rushgrove Park, on the Grahame Park Estate, around St Mary’s and Middlesex University and along the High Street in Edgware.

Celebrating the success of the event, Pinto-Duschinsky said: “It was fantastic to see so many residents giving up their Sunday to take part in the Big Hendon Litter Pick. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who came out to contribute to our community and all of those who helped organise the event.”

“Events like this show our community at its best. We are incredibly fortunate to have so many inspirational people who care deeply about our area.”

He added: “It’s not just about clearing rubbish; it’s about also meeting your neighbours and making a difference in our area. Seeing everyone come together to look after our public spaces really shows the strength of our local community. A massive thank you to everyone who came along. I’m already looking forward to next year’s litter pick, and hopefully we’ll see even more people getting involved.”
