Stondon Parish Council has pledged its support for this year’s Great British Spring Clean, run by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
The campaign, which runs from March 20th to April 13th, will see up to 600,000 people taking action to clean up streets, parks and beaches across the country.
The Great British Spring Clean, run by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, brings together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to show they love where they live and in 2019 more than half a million #LitterHeroes collected more than 900,000 bags of rubbish.
Cllr Jon Wallace is planning to organise the event for the 5th April 2020 from 10:30am to 12:30pm.
Meeting point will be at the Village Hall, Hillside Road and the clean up will cover Hillside Road then along Station Road to Bedford Road.
Please contact him on the following form and let him know you can do your bit to help.
Last year, Stondon Parish Council helped organise the spring clean round the village and collected some 13 bags of rubbish.
Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive Allison Ogden-Newton OBE said: “The overwhelming response to last year’s Great British Spring Clean showed that there are many hundreds of thousands of people out there who love where they live and are prepared to take action to make it better for themselves, their families and their communities.
“We are delighted that Stondon Parish Council is supporting this year’s campaign and would like to thank them for their support. Without local councils across the country giving the campaign their backing, our volunteers would not be able to do the incredible job they do.”
This year’s campaign will not only see tonnes of litter being removed from the environment on our doorstep, it also aims to rescue thousands of the plastic bottles and aluminium drinks cans that are simply thrown on the ground but could, very easily, be recycled.
