A cyclist's new hobby of cleaning street signs has already taken him as far afield as Belgium.

John Edwards, from Shrewsbury, took up the hobby after spotting a video of a man improving signs during lockdown.

Since then he has posted clips of his cleaning around the county, and has even been tidying up the signs in Belgium after watching a cyclist race.

Mr Edwards said he was delighted to clean the signs and the response from the public was "gangbusters".

Never too late or too soon to go out and improve aspects of your community.

Simple items like picking up a few peices of litter on your streets, in your local parks, or on any nearby trails. Every little bit helps, and the more local residents in the area do the same thing, the more beautiful and inviting your city becomes.
