Beckenham Street Sweeper's Crowdfunded Holiday Blocked by Employer

Veolia cites contract restrictions, while community and local MP push for a resolution.

Residents raised over £3,000 to send street cleaner Paul Spiers on a holiday to Portugal.
Veolia, his employer, prohibited Spiers from accepting the funds due to contractual terms.
Local MP Liam Conlon and residents are advocating for a solution that allows Spiers to take the trip.
Veolia has offered to match the raised amount and donate it to a charity chosen by Spiers.
Online travel agent On The Beach awarded Spiers a free trip to Portugal through a specially tailored competition.
