Residents of Upton upon Severn have united in a spirited effort to beautify their town ahead of the bustling summer tourist season. This community-led initiative saw volunteers gather on Sunday to tackle the aftermath of winter, focusing on clearing mud from the riverfront and cleaning pavements and shop fronts. The effort was supported by Severn Area Rescue Association, which collected rubbish from the river following recent floods.

Organizers aimed to create a festive atmosphere, highlighting the strong community spirit where residents are "always really happy to step up and help." This collaborative effort precedes a series of summer events, including folk and jazz festivals scheduled for May and June, and the Sunshine music and camping festival at the end of August.
