To welcome in the spring, Watford Borough Council is launching a two-week town-wide spring clean and is looking for residents to get involved.

The start of the spring clean coincides with the national Clean for the Queen campaign which runs on March 4 to 6.

The council is aiming to have the highest number of clean-up activities of any town in the UK by inviting everyone to take part.

Members of the public are being asked to help the council achieve this goal by organising a clean-up in their street, around a school or office or even in a local park.

The various clean-up groups around the town will take part in the two-week programme which starts on March 4 and finishes on March 18.

Partners, Veolia, are providing clean-up kits including gloves, litter-pickers and special purple bin bags.

The kits are subject to availability and its first come, first served and all the clean-ups will be plotted on a map on the council website.

Anyone interested should contact Veolia to order a kit and they will need a date, time and area that will be cleaned.

Contact Veolia on enquiries.watford@veolia.co.uk or call during offices hours on 0203 567 6900.
