​Dodleston Parish Council supports the community clean up as part of country’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign

Dodleston Parish Council has pledged its support for this year’s Great British Spring Clean, run by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.  The campaign, which runs from March 22nd to April 23rd, will see up to half a million people taking action to clean up streets, parks and beaches across the country.

The Great British Spring Clean brings together individuals, community organisations, businesses and councils to make a difference to the environment on our doorstep and in 2018 around 370,000 #LitterHeroes collected more than 630,000 bags of rubbish.  Last year, Dodleston Parish Council took part in the Great British Spring Clean and collected 7 bags of rubbish using two local events.  

Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive Allison Ogden-Newton said: “The Great British Spring Clean is an opportunity for the millions of people who care about the environment on their doorstep to do something positive that will make a visible difference.  We are delighted that Dodleston Parish Council is supporting this year’s campaign and would like to thank them for their support.  Without councils across the country giving the campaign their backing, our volunteers would not be able to do the incredible job they do.”

This year’s campaign will not only see tonnes of litter being removed from the environment on our doorstep, it also aims to rescue thousands of the plastic bottles and aluminium drinks cans that are simply thrown on the ground but could, very easily, be recycled.  Using the ‘three bags full’ approach, volunteers will be asked to separate the litter they pick into three bags: one for plastic bottles; one for aluminium cans and a third for the rest of the rubbish.

Cheshire West and Chester Council will then collect these bags to ensure that they are recycled appropriately.
