Someone in Gravesham has left a rainbow for the bin men to say thank-you.

Rainbow pictures are being posted in windows across the country as a way of spreading some cheer during the coronavirus lockdown.

A refuse collection team found a colourful picture attached to a wheelie bin with the note 'Dear rubbish collectors, thank you for doing a gr8 job'.

A spokesman for the council said: "Our refuse collectors would like to say thank you for all the support you, our residents, have been giving them in these difficult days. Lots of people have been leaving thank you messages on bins for them and it’s really appreciated."

A statement added: "Our collections, including garden waste, are continuing as normal, but we are monitoring these services on a daily basis. Any alterations we need to make in response to changing circumstances will be shared via our social media channels and posted on www.gravesham.gov.uk #ThankYou #StaySafe."
