Spring into action and help clean up your neighbourhood
Posted on Saturday 12th February 2011 at 9:57 am by SH (Editor)A call is going out to all volunteer groups and businesses across South Gloucestershire urging them to spring into action in a few months time to help clean up their neighbourhood or open spaces, helping to transform South Gloucestershire as part of National Spring Clean 2011.
South Gloucestershire Council is supporting the Big Spring Clean Campaign 2011 which runs from 1st March to 30th April and is encouraging everyone to join them. From schools to scouts and voluntary group to businesses, all are invited to take action against litter. Groups are being asked to register their interest early so litter picking equipment can be organised ahead of the campaign.
Cllr Heather Goddard, South Gloucestershire Council’s executive member for communities, said: “The Big Spring Clean is the Big Society in action and is always hugely popular in South Gloucestershire, which is undoubtedly down to the fact that people are really proud of the district as a place to live and work.”
“We want to encourage as many volunteers as possible to take part in the Big Spring Clean. This event can make a big difference. By reducing the litter we will improve the quality of the environment and make the green spaces of South Gloucestershire even more inviting to visit and enjoy.”
