Volunteers and residents are set to give Southend a ‘spring clean’ as part of a national campaign to keep Britain’s streets tidy.
Southend Council has teamed up with the Make Southend Sparkle Initiative in an effort to encourage people to help with litter picks in the area.
It coincides with the launch of The Great British Spring Clean, campaign run by Keep Britain Tidy, which is taking place between Friday, May 28 until Sunday, June 13.
Make Southend Sparkle have lined up a number of events at various beaches and parks across the borough, and will provide litter picking equipment to anyone in groups of four or more willing to take part.
