Peterborough's BIG Tidy Up

Peterborough’s first ever BIG Tidy up was help from 24 May to 30 May which saw a staggering number of communities committing to picking litter.
Organised by Naomi Jones (pictured right) of Peterborough’s Council for Voluntary Service, the week of litter picking brought communities together to tidy up city streets and villages.

Naomi Jones said, “I am really pleased with the amazing response to Peterborough’s first ever BIG Tidy Up. With so many people getting involved it was fantastic to meet so many residents who are passionate about Peterborough and were so enthusiastic about cleaning up our city.”
Areas that held a BIG tidy up included: Parnwell, Orton Brimbles, Paston, Dogsthorpe, Fengate, Werrington, Bretton, Hampton, Orton Longueville, Walton, Newark, Stanground, Millfield, Orton Waterville.
It is hoped that the BIG Tidy Up will become an annual litter picking event.
