OFFICE workers took time away from their desks to help keep their town tidy.
Council officers, business people, councillors and street wardens mucked in during the first-ever Catford clean-up.
Volunteers helped clear litter, abandoned trolleys and graffiti from streets in and around the town centre.
The clean-up was organised to coincide with the appointment of Catford's new town centre manager, Petra Smith.
She said: "There is obviously a lot of hard work to do but judging by the amount of support I've had from the community I'm really excited by the town centre's potential."
Cabinet member Councillor Andrew Brown, who also took part in the clean-up, said: "I'm really impressed with the enthusiasm people are showing. We can only make a true difference to the environment with a team effort."
