It's easy... Pack your rubbish up in the bag your brought it in, take it home and bin it. Please retweet to remind others! 👉🚯 #KeepBritainTidy

🏖️ The Council has experienced a shortness in staff due to members of the team continuing to self-isolate from Covid-19. It has meant public bins are taking longer to empty than expected and extra resource has had to be deployed to the borough’s hotspots.

🚮 Please don’t let a minority of people lead you to believe that community spirit in the borough is not alive and well. Our dedicated litter-pickers are never far behind, and our council teams are working extremely hard to keep our borough clean and tidy.
