A green space deemed as an area which could benefit from a spring clean has been visited by the borough's mayor.

Islington Green in Angel was the site of a community clean up, attended by the borough's mayor Gary Heather who joined in the efforts with volunteers.

The event, a led by Cllr Heather and Angel Business Improvement District (BID), an organisation which seeks to improve the borough's town centres, was hosted on April 16 this year.

The green was chosen by organisers as an area that could benefit from a spring clean and the addition of fresh flowers and plants.

Past events have included litter picks, cleaning street furniture, repairing broken installations and planting trees.
