Keep Britain Tidy
Minutes:
Ollie Jones from Capital Standards (London branch of Keep Britain Tidy) outlined the nature of partnership work that his organisation has been involved in which included local environmental quality surveys, organising national campaigns Clean up Day, local Big Tidy Up events to improve neglected areas. Recent campaigns had also focused on encouraging fast food outlets as well as customers to take more responsibility for litter and a successful eco schools programme had also been rolled out to educate children.
Requests were made for more posters display in the borough to discourage people from dropping litter. Posters could be ordered free from the Keep Britain Tidy website.
Concerns were expressed regarding the apparent lack of information provided by the Council on what and where materials could be recycled e.g. batteries. It was confirmed that an A-Z list of materials that could be recycled was on the Council website.
