The Council has today backed a bid to pick litter from North East Lincolnshire’s streets and public spaces during Britain’s favourite environmental charity’s clean-up campaign.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean campaign, which runs from 21 March - 6 April, is calling on residents and businesses across the borough to show they love where they live by taking part in the mass action litter pick.
North East Lincolnshire Council is delighted to lend its support to back the charity’s plea to the public to pledge on the charity’s website to pick one bag or more of litter from streets, parks, beauty spots and beaches in order to protect our vibrant communities and precious wildlife habitats.
The charity reports that last year:
Councillor Henry Hudson, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Net Zero, said: “We are proud to once again be championing the Great British Spring Clean.
“I’d like to thank our hard working staff as well as the hundreds of volunteers who are helping to keep our streets clean on a regular basis.
“If you can pledge to pick up a bag, I urge you to do so and help make a difference in North East Lincolnshire.”
The Great British Spring Clean brings together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, said: “We are so grateful for the game-changing support from North East Lincolnshire Council
“The Great British Spring Clean is a fantastic way for councils to support residents to really show their pride in where they live, and connect with like-minded people, while taking serious and immediate action to protect the environment on their doorstep.
“During this year’s campaign, we are highlighting that the environment belongs to everyone, and that everyone is welcome to join in with our activities and celebrate the 10th Great British Spring Clean.
“We are humbled to see our army of #LitterHeroes volunteers carrying out these acts of kindness to make the planet a cleaner, safer place for our future generations.”
