The Town Council continues to support the U.K.’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign, The Great British Spring Clean which encourages communities to love where they live by pledging to pick a bag (or more) of litter from their local open spaces and neighbourhood. This year’s campaign runs between the 13 – 29 March.

Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council is proud to be part of this initiative and enable residents, community groups and schools to take part. 
The simple act of picking up litter can make a huge difference to local wildlife, open spaces and the wider community. It can create a more inviting and attractive environment, instil a sense of pride across our Royal Town and transform our green spaces.

Cllr Cindy Yip, the Town Mayor, said: “The Great British Spring Clean is a brilliant opportunity to engage in your local area and help keep Royal Sutton Coldfield clean, tidy and welcoming. We are urging the community to show their love for where they live by getting involved. Whether that’s teaming up with a local group, or heading out for your own quick clean up, every single bag collected will help protect and preserve our streets, parks and beautiful green spaces. I would also like to thank the amazing community groups that work hard to keep the Town well-maintained and litter free.”
 
To date the Town Council has provided over 1,700 pieces of litter picking equipment to Sutton Coldfield Litter Action Group for residents to get involved and adopt a street.  The Town Council can put you in touch with this group or support community litter picks directly by offering loans of litter picking equipment such as litter pickers, tabards and bin bags/bag hoops. All equipment is available on a first come first serve basis. Please email enquiries@suttoncoldfieldtowncouncil.gov.uk.

Residents can also get involved in the campaign on social media by using the hashtags #GBSpringClean #lovewhereyoulive or tagging the town council in your posts. We would love to see what you do.
