A window cleaner has been praised on social media for voluntarily cleaning Anglesey's road signs and bus stops.

Steve Matthews, who lives in Holyhead and owns Clear View Contract Window Cleaning Ltd, has been keeping windows and carpets clean on the island since 1993.

But for the last couple of years, the window cleaner has decided to venture out with a different approach to cleaning.

He said: "It first started when I saw a 'Happy Birthday' sign hung near the Llanfachraeth road sign nearly two years ago. It was such a lovely message, but the road sign behind it was so dirty and I thought it was a shame.

"So I stopped the van, got my window cleaning kit out and decided to clean the road sign myself. A video of me doing it was posted on social media and the feedback on our page was absolutely brilliant."

From then onwards, Steve decided to make it his mission to clean all road signs that he could find that needed attention. From Holyhead, to Trearddur Bay and Bodedern, Steve has cleaned all sorts of road signs and has recently started cleaning bus stop windows.

"I enjoy doing it," he explained. "And I really love seeing people take interest in what we do.

"It's such a simple thing to do and doesn't take much of our time. Our customers have even got in contact with the business and requested us to clean a road sign near them, which has been incredible to see."

Steve hopes to continue with his voluntary work for a number of reasons.

He said: "I think it just shows the power of social media.

"Not only has it been good for my business, but more importantly, it has brought different communities on Anglesey together.

"It's all about giving something back, however small that may be."
