Speaking about McDonalds, Gillian Wharton said: “Their shrubbery looked really well and the daffodils were beginning to bud. There was absolutely no litter there. This business has made a huge effort to keep their business and the area around it clean,” she said.
About Connollys Jewellers, Gillian said: “We chose a business which always looks really well. Their window displays are always lovely, their frontage is spotless and staff are regularly seen cleaning out in front,” she said.
