At nearly 80 years old, it would be understandable if you wanted to sit back and relax.
But one older resident is out sweeping the streets of his neighbourhood in Northwood every single week.
Northwood Police first shared his story in 2022, posting on social media site X: “This 75-year-old gentleman who lives in the ward is an absolute star for what he does for Northwood.
“He regularly sweeps with a broom by himself Rickmansworth Road from Maxwell Road to Murray Road and today sweeping outside our old police station. He does this off his own back.”
Posting in June 2025, the police said: “During our patrols earlier today, [we] came across this gentleman again, as he does this every single week.
“He is still sweeping the streets for his neighbourhood. This guy is an absolute gentleman.”
