CHESHIRE West and Chester Council is promoting Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean campaign and the Your Streets team has organised litter picking events across the borough – including one in Frodsham.
The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean will take place from March 21 to April 6, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more – right now.
The community litter pick in Frodsham will be held on Thursday, April 3 between 12 noon and 2pm at the Castle Park car park and litter-picking equipment will be provided.
The Your Streets team also has a toolkit available for individuals and groups of up to 30 volunteers to arrange clean-up events in their own communities.
The toolkit, which is available throughout the year not just during the Keep Britain Tidy campaign, includes litter-picking grabbers, bags and full instructions for the collection of filled bags.
The council’s cabinet member for Neighbourhood Pride, Cllr Stuart Bingham (pictured) said: “It’s wonderful that so many groups and individuals have already organised litter-picking events and clean-ups in their communities to join this campaign.
“I’m pleased we are able to promote the use of the toolkit through our Your Streets initiative to help individuals and groups make a difference in their area. I’m looking forward to hearing about the results achieved across the borough at our community events.
“Litter-picking is a simple activity that can really make a huge difference where you live. Our teams work hard every day and are doing all they can to keep the borough clean and looking beautiful, but we really value the contribution of volunteers during the Great British Spring Clean as well as through the rest of the year. Thank you to everyone who plays their part across the borough. We can all be #LitterHeroes!”
