Gavin Williamson, MP for South Staffordshire, is urging schools, businesses and community groups to help tidy up their local area ahead of HM The Queen’s 90th Birthday.
The “Clean for The Queen” campaign brings together all the anti-litter organisations from the UK and aims to get people involved in Britain’s largest litter pick. Community groups including Parish Councils, residents’ associations, Girl Guides, Brownies, Scout, Cub troops are encouraged to organise their own litter pick or clean up in the coming weeks or over the “Clean for The Queen” weekend over 4-6 March.
Gavin will be taking part in two “Clean for the Queen” events in Essington and Perton on Saturday 5th March, joining local community groups to clean up the local area.
Commenting on the upcoming event said: “This is a great opportunity to make sure we get South Staffordshire neat and tidy in time for HM The Queen’s official 90th birthday on 21 April.
“We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area which we should take pride in. I really hope people across South Staffordshire will consider getting involved so together we can help mark this momentous occasion.”
