Theo Reeves was so concerned that the leaves in King Street, Much Wenlock could lead to an accident he went out at 8.30am to clean them up.
Proud mum, Emm Reeves, who pictured her lad sweeping up in the street, said: “Theo is an eight-year-old local lad who was concerned that members of the community would slip on the damp leaves around the public toilets where there is also a bus stop.
“He got up early today to sweep and clear the fallen leaves to help ensure no accidents!”
She added that the community-minded youngster also has plans to help out in more areas in Shropshire too.
The youngsters hard work did not go unnoticed. When members of the local police Safer Neighbourhood Team spotted Theo, they gave him a VIP tour of Bridgnorth Police Station.
A spokesperson said: "As a token of our gratitude for his thoughtfulness, we invited him and his family to Bridgnorth for a tour of the Police Station and vehicles. He was presented with a goodie bag which included a full set of Top Dog Cards.
"Brilliant work for your local community Theo, you should be extremely proud of yourself."
