Clean for The Queen aims to give the country a tidy-up ahead of The Queen’s 90th birthday in April and its main focus in Telford and Wrekin is this weekend (Mar 4-6).
Clean For The Queen is backed by all the nation’s major anti-litter charities including Keep Britain Tidy and the Campaign to Protect Rural England and delivered as part of the council's Pride In Your Community programme.
Saturday and Sunday will see events at Apley Woods between 10am and 1pm and there will be two events on Sunday only – at the Guildhall in Newport at 10am.
Councillor Shaun Davies, Telford & Wrekin Council’s cabinet member for Neighbourhood Services, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Clean for The Queen and we would encourage as many groups, individuals and organisations in the borough to take part.
“Litter is a problem that councils across the UK spend the best part of £1billion clearing up every year. Clean For The Queen supports our efforts locally to make Telford and Wrekin look the best it possibly can, demonstrated by the creation of a number of parish environmental teams around the borough.”
To let us know about events, email pride.officer@telford.gov.uk and they will be listed on www.telford.gov.uk/cleanforthequeen
