London (CNN) -- Small armies of residents marched onto London's streets Tuesday -- but instead of weapons they carried cleaning equipment.

Equipped with brooms, buckets and bin-bags, communities across the city responded to last night's riots by turning out in force determined to restore their neighborhoods.

Joan McAvoy, 72, has lived on an estate in the Lavender Hill area in Battersea her whole life. "I've seen nothing like this in all my life," she said. "I don't understand.

nice to see the residents come together and clean their city. i hope this goes off without confrontation with the rioters.

If I caught my kid even thinking about doing this I would beat them so bad their teeth would fall out. It looks like the UK needs to learn some "third world" parenting rules again.

"There were kids aged 10 or 12 years old," she continued. "Where are the parents? Why are they letting their kids out at this time of night?"

When I saw this I could not believe it, this is what happens if society is too PC.

I tried to explain to my wife the reason for it but there aren't any really. Just some lazy hooligans with no morals.
