Residents across Telford and Wrekin are being urged to take pride and join a community litter pick as part of the annual Great British Spring Clean.

Telford & Wrekin Council is again supporting the Keep Britian Tidy initiative – now in its tenth year – and encouraging residents to roll up their sleeves and help make their neighbourhood an even cleaner place to call home.

This year, the national campaign runs from Friday 21 March to Sunday 6 April and is highlighting that the environment belongs to everyone.

Telford & Wrekin Council is encouraging all residents to get involved as individuals or as a family. Community groups, schools and businesses are all welcome to support the campaign, too, and help keep their area clean and tidy. It’s also an opportunity to join the growing Street Champion army of over 1,600 volunteers.

Residents are invited to join a community litter pick or one of the Council’s events on Saturday 5 April. Last year, 26 litter picks were held and 150 bags collected.
