The Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign. In 2024, the campaign returns from 15th March to 31st March.

The promotion of the Great British Spring Clean provides an opportunity for the Council to highlight the works that it undertakes and raise the awareness of littering campaigns.

It is proposed that as part of the campaign the Council takes an active role by: firstly, promoting its own volunteer litter pick days with the County Parks; and secondly, diverting existing resources to deliver a deep-litter picking and cleaning of the ‘gateways’ to the Borough.

Following a full discussion, Cllr Aspinell MOVED and Cllr Fulcher SECONDED the recommendation in the report. A vote was taken and it was RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY that:

R1 – To approve the cleansing schedule of ‘gateway’ sites as set out in paragraph 2.5

R2 – To approve the promotion of the Great British Spring Clean and provide support as set out in paragraph 2.4

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION

The promotion of the Great British Spring Clean provides an opportunity for the Council to highlight the works that it undertakes and raise the awareness of littering campaigns.
