Last year, volunteers around the country pledged to collect 400,000 bags of litter as part of Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean, which is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign.
Next month, as Keep Britain Tidy celebrates its 70th year – Rochford District Council are supporting this year’s campaign and inviting residents to join our Great British Spring Clean events.
The campaign, which runs from 15 March to 31 March, will see hundreds of thousands of people taking action to clean up streets, parks, and beaches across the country.
Come along to one of our events, dedicated to litter picking and sprucing up our open spaces and scenic parks. All equipment will be provided, just wear suitable clothes and footwear.
