The community raised just over £3,000, but Mr Spiers's employer Veolia forbade him from accepting the funds, saying it would have been in breach of its contract with Bromley Council.
Online travel agents On the Beach swooped in last week to boost Mr Spiers's holiday hopes with its "totally non-specific £3,000-holiday competition to Portugal," which dictated the winner had to be aged between 62-64, have the surname Spiers, be a street cleaner in Beckenham and "be loved by the local community".

Veolia spokesperson previously told Sky News the company had "no objection" to Mr Spiers "winning" the competition, adding: "We are delighted that Paul can travel to Portugal for a well-deserved holiday thanks to his competition win."
"Our position regarding the funds raised by the community has not changed and the decision about what happens to that money is a matter for the fundraiser," they said.
"Veolia has matched the amount raised as of Friday 9th August and this will be donated to Cancer Research UK, a charity close to Paul's heart."
