Red Nose Day Toll in Church Street

On Red Nose day we raised £406 for Comic Relief at a rush hour road "toll"  in Isleworth. Cllr Sue Sampson and I wore our slippers and dressing gowns and collected funds from drivers slowing down at the width restriction in Church Street. We were joined by Elvis, and local residents including Katherine Dunne who stopped by on her way to work.

We would like to to thank all the drivers who put their change in our mop buckets. Comic Relief funds many projects that support children living in poverty in the UK and in Africa, and every penny went towards the national total that is currently over £75m.

We'd also like to thank the charity Cathja,who made the "Red Nose" toll sign in their barge workshop, and the team at the London Apprentice who generously provided breakfast.
