Want to help keep Brightlingsea tidy? Help is on hand for residents who want to take part in Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean campaign.

Tendring District Council (TDC) is calling on residents to pledge to pick one or more bags of litter during the 10th annual campaign, which runs from March 21 – April 6.

For those interested in organising a litter picking event, TDC has a supply of litter pickers, hoops and bags and can also arrange for the collection and disposal of collected waste. Call 01255 686788 or email [email protected].

• Editor’s note: Brightlingsea already has a group of dedicated volunteer litter pickers – the Brightlingsea Litter Pickers, who do a great job. Find out more via their Facebook page.
