Running from 21 March to 6 April, the national campaign is led by Keep Britain TidyOpens in new tab and aims to inspire individuals, schools, community groups and businesses to come together to tackle litter, clean up streets and create cleaner, greener neighbourhoods.
A key day for our city is Tuesday 25 March, with a special day of action in Derby city centre. Working in partnership with the Cathedral QuarterOpens in new tab and St Peters QuarterOpens in new tab Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Derby City Council's Streetpride team, volunteers, councillors and community leaders will be working to make a visible difference. Businesses and residents are invited to take part in activities such as litter picking, weeding, fly poster removal and general tidying up. In addition, the team will be jet-washing pavements, clearing litter and removing outdated signage to further enhance the city centre.
Cllr Ndukwe Onuoha, Derby City Council Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Safety and Leisure, said:
Coming together to look after our city strengthens our sense of community and pride. The Great British Spring Clean is a fantastic opportunity to show that Derby is a place we're proud to call home. Let's make a visible difference because we all love where we live.
