Kenilworth resident encouraging others to join in by dressing up to take bins out

A resident in Kenilworth is encouraging other people to join him in dressing up to take the bins out.

Last week, Phil Webb, who lives in Clarke's Avenue, dressed up as Father Christmas to take the bins out to help make people laugh during the lockdown.

This week Phil dressed up as a 'Red Nose Day man' and is now hoping other will join in.

Phil said: "I just think to relieve the boredom it’s nice to do something silly as long as it’s safe.

"I see posts from around the country of some people out singing on their drive, others social distance dancing in their street to music and chalk games on the pavement so people can hop skip and jump as they take their daily stroll.

"As we have been in lockdown for four weeks the only thing that lets me know what day it is, is that on a Thursday’s we all go out and clap for the NHS and we all wave to each other up and down the street and on a Sunday I take the bins out and it’s an excuse to dress up."

Phil is already busy planning next week's bin outing. He said: "For next week I haven’t fully decided yet but it might be a wizard who takes the bins out."
