FIONA BRUCE MP ENCOURAGES COMMUNITIES TO CLEAN FOR THE QUEEN!
Congleton Constituency MP calls on schools, businesses and community
groups to help tidy up their local area ahead of HM The Queen’s 90th
Birthday.
“Clean for The Queen” is a
nationwide project which is bringing together all the anti-litter organisations
from the UK such as Sandbach and Middlewich Clean Teams and Friends of Station Groups like those in Alsager, Congleton and Goostrey and aims
to get people involved in Britain’s largest litter pick. Community groups
including parish councils, residents’ associations, Girl guides and brownies
and Scout and 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.
Fiona Bruce MP said:
“This
is a great opportunity to make sure we get this Constituency neat and tidy in
time for HM The Queen’s official 90th birthday on 21 April. Although
the big litter pick will take place over 4, 5 and 6 March, people can get
involved whenever they like. It is the support and action people are taking,
and not the dates, which are important. I really hope people in this constituency
will consider getting involved so together we can help mark this momentous
occasion.”
