Stamford residents can now get involved in the Great British Spring Clean 2023.

Back for its eighth year, the Great British Spring Clean is the nation's biggest mass-action environmental campaign.

The Great British Spring Clean and Great Big School Clean 2023 will take place from 17 March to 2 April, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter – or more – now!  

Many local Councils are in support of the project, encouraging residents and Parishes, as well as schools and businesses, to get involved.

Anyone can get involved in the project, pledging to bag as much littler as they can throughout the week.

You can choose to pledge as an individual, a group or a school by visiting the Keep Britain Tidy website.

Last year, an army of amazing #LitterHeroes pledged to pick nearly half a million bags of litter across the country, and Keep Britain Tidy are hoping that together local communities can continue the amazing work and clean up the local places and spaces loved by so many.

This year the campaign will be focusing on the pride that any and all #LitterHeroes have for their local community.

Residents can also get involved with a local litter picking group, the Pride of Stamford Litter Pickers. The team host regular meets where you can clean the community and meet new people.

Do you know of any litter hotspots in the local area?
