In the Summer of 1970 I was hired by the Council as a Litter Defence Volunteer, (LDV) along with some friends. A local carpet firm laid a large carpet at the entrance to the pier and we spent the whole of the summer holiday sweeping and keeping this carpet clean and promoting keeping the streets of Southend clean.
Great time... The thought behind it was, you wouldn't drop litter on your carpet at home, so why drop it on the streets of Southend.
