Council leader joins in the fun

Merton council leader Stephen Alambritis has shown his support for Comic Relief by buying one of the charity's fund-raising t-shirts.

Councillor Alambritis, who bought his shirt at TK Maxx in the Colliers Wood Tandem Centre, said: "Every year the Red Nose Day team works very hard to make Comic Relief a fun and very worthwhile cause that helps people in need in the UK and Africa.

"I'm glad that I could support Red Nose Day 2013 locally in Merton and I would encourage everyone to get involved in Comic Relief this week."
