The Head of 16-19 Learning and Skills provided SACRE Members with information regarding the Durham and Darlington Big Spring Clean to be held between 19 February and 9 April 2019.

It was reported that the Big Spring Clean gives communities the opportunity to work in partnership with Darlington Borough Council to help improve and make a difference to where they live.

It was also reported that previous Big Spring Clean campaigns had been successful with thousands of bags of litter collected by hundreds of local volunteers.

Councillor Lee, who also attended the meeting, and in his capacity as Chair of Litter Free Durham confirmed that if communities do a litter pick they were advised to notify the Borough Council as they were keen to monitoring the help that was being received.

Any group that were willing to help were encouraged to contact Pippa Smaling, Darlington Borough Council Ranger by Telephone. 01325 406719 or email. [email protected].

IT WAS AGREED – That the report be noted.
