Great British Spring Clean - Upchurch
One Bag
Big Difference
Upchurch Parish Council is asking village groups and residents to volunteer as litter pickers once again and help clean up our village for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, as part of this year's Great British Spring Clean.
Back for its seventh year, the Great British Spring Clean is the country’s largest mass-action environmental campaign and aims to bring together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep. The annual litter campaign organised by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy inspires 1,000’s of volunteers across the UK to get involved in their local Spring cleans.
The litter pick in Upchurch is always well supported, and the tremendous village effort each year results in around 70 sacks of litter being picked from our village spaces and the surrounding country lanes. The Parish Council hopes this will be the case again during this special Queen's Platinum Jubilee year.
To volunteer, please come along to The Recreation Ground Car Park in Oak Lane on Saturday the 2nd of April at 10:30am and help us all make a noticeable difference to our village together. The litter pick will follow the usual format lasting around 90 minutes.
The Parish Council has a limited amount of equipment, so please bring your Litter Pickers, Hoops, Gloves, Hi-Vis if you have them - thank you.
Contact the Parish Clerk Wendy Licence for further details: clerkupc@outlook.com
Thank you for your help and support.
