Nusrat Ghani, MP for Sussex Weald, is supporting this year’s ‘Great British Spring Clean’ campaign and is encouraging local residents to take part and help clean our shared spaces.
The Great British Spring Clean is an annual event organised by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy and it is the UK’s largest mass-action environmental campaign. The Great British Spring Clean has returned on 21 March this year and will run until the end of this week, 6 April. The annual event will bring together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference and help keep their local environment clean.
To find out more or to get involved, go to www.keepbritaintidy.org. There are several events happening across Wealden district with some of the local town and parish councils involved in organising local litter picks. To get involved and receive equipment for an event or ongoing litter picking, or for further information please contact Wealden District Council via email [email protected].
Nusrat Ghani said: “Sussex Weald countryside is one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, yet so often, it is blighted by litter. I recognise that littering is an issue of concern for many local residents, and I hope that more individuals and groups will be inspired to take part in the campaign this year and help ensure that we have a healthy and clean environment for the benefit of all. I know that there are many wonderful local groups including Brighter Crowborough and Brighter Heathfield and I’m grateful to all the volunteers who give up their time in order to pick up litter and help keep our streets, waterways and natural habitats clean.”
