Volunteers wash cars for charity in Worthing car park

The event was part of the council’s use it or lose it campaign to promote new cheaper parking rates in the town centre’s multi-storey car parks.

Volunteers from the youth council and Worthing car parks cleaned 40 cars, raising a total of £150 for Prostate Cancer UK and GO Youth, a Worthing based charity for youth activities.

Worthing mayor Bob Smytherman brought the mayoral car to be cleaned and encouraged other drivers to do the same.

He said: “It was great fun – the team really worked hard all the time and there was a constant stream of cars wanting their services. The ten youth councillors were absolutely great.”
