Taxi driver Adrian Phillips said: "He didn't leave a single stray leaf in the street the other day."
Former builder's labourer Mr Westcott, 63, of Exeter, cleans High Street and New Street six days a week, from 8am to 3pm.
"I like the job, because it's out in the fresh air and I meet a lot of people," he told the Herald. "The hardest part of my job is cleaning outside the Congregational Church.
"I now know why leaves are called leaves, because they regularly leave the tree!
"One or two people have said they are pleased with how tidy the town centre is."
