It was all hands on deck at Gower College Swansea when Swans Ambassador Lee Trundle dropped by to lend his support to a brand new litter picking initiative at the Tycoch campus.

“I’ve been very impressed with the enthusiasm of the staff and students at the College and the way they have really bought into this new initiative,” says Cllr Roberts.
