Students, staff and local residents joined forces to clean the streets around UCC on Thursday.

Although both the UCC student body and the Magazine Road Residents Association have organised separate events in the past, this is the first time the two groups have come together – armed with bin bags and litter pickers – for a street clean to spruce up their shared neighbourhood.
