The Green Network
The Green Network is about
residents getting involved in
their local community, increasing civic pride and keeping their local environment
tidy. The Green Network has
teamed up with Cleanup UK, a
registered charity focused on
making communities stronger,
cleaner and safer.
This Network will enable residents from across the borough
to volunteer for their community, getting involved in activities organised by LBBD’s
waste minimisation team. If
you are keen to take ownership
of where you live and feel you
can organize your own tidy up
Cleanup UK are on hand to motivate, support and advise on
how to be a sustainable group
whose actions will have a lasting effect. To date many resi-
dents and community groups
have already supported their
communities and neighborhoods by volunteering with
various tidy up days throughout
the borough. The Green Network gives residents the chance
to meet like minded people,
take pride in their community
and develop their own independent group in the borough.
