ABCD-In-Luton’s Kevin Poulton has helped to organise Luton’s GBSC events since 2017. He said: “It is fantastic to be joined by so many volunteers that have stepped forward to show their pride in our town by helping to KeepLutonTidy, both as part of this series of events and throughout the year.

"We have had groups that contact us and form up because they have seen the National campaign, but who then keep going all year round under the local banner.”
