The community have come together for a litter pick and weeding at a suburb in Slough.

Volunteers got to work cleaning College Road Allotments in Cippenham.

Photos show volunteers using pickers to get rid of litter and cutters to prune hedges and get rid of weeds.

They were joined by Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, the Labour MP for Slough for the event.

In attendance were volunteers from SERGO, the owning company of Slough Trading Estate, the Groundwork South youth charity, Slough Business Community Partnership (SBCP), allotment holders and neighbours. 

Mr Dhesi said: "Thanks to the kind volunteers from SEGROplc, who with Groundwork South, Slough Business Community Partnership and locals from College Road Allotments in Cippenham, helped clear waste, weeds and more.

"Their hard work will enable many in Slough to enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of gardening."

Allotment holders rent their plots from Slough Borough Council.

Since this year, College Road allotment holders pay £7.51 per year for a  25.3m2 patch of land.

That is reduced to £3.65 for concessions such as people aged 60 plus and the unemployed, and £5.98 for those in early retirement, a rate that is not available to new tenants.

Holders can also pay £14.91 for lockers and £13.06 for raised plant and flower beds.
