The Big Tidy Up
Allerdale Borough Council would like to enlist your help to
participate in the 2008 Keep Britain Tidy Clean up Campaign in
support of the joint Clean it campaign supported by Allerdale
Borough Council, Times and Star and the Civic Trust launched in
April 2008. It is set to launch in September and will be Keep
Britain Tidy’s first national clean up in over 8 years to encourage
a public upsurge in local clean up events.
ENCAMS will be running a national advertising campaign from July
which aims to get as many members of the public and established
groups on board to help improve their local environment. The
advertising will direct the public to a dedicated website where
they will be able to find out further information on how to
register and organise their own local clean up. Participants will
be encouraged to log their efforts onto the website which will
feature a map of England; this will indicate how many bags of
rubbish have been collected throughout the clean up.
The Big Tidy up will be using outdoor advertising across the
country in the format of phone boxes and billboards which will
direct members of the public to ENCAMS dedicated website. The first
promotional push begins 7th July for 2 weeks with the campaign
launched on 1st September 2008
Allerdale will be hosting several events throughout the campaign
the first is on 29th August 2008 at Mawbray Banks, other locations
and dates will be advertised nearer the time of the launch. Anyone
interested in volunteering or holding an event should contact
margaret.heyes@allerdale.gov.uk.
