Torridge District Council is proud to be taking part in the Great British Spring Clean 2026, the largest mass-participation environmental campaign in the country.
Organised by Keep Britain Tidy, the campaign runs from 13 – 29 March 2026 and encourages communities to come together to collect and safely dispose of litter from local streets, parks and beaches. The Council remains committed to supporting this important initiative to help keep our environment clean and enjoyable for everyone.
Last year, more than 342,000 people across the UK took part in the Great British Spring Clean, and this year the Council is encouraging more local residents to get involved by joining a beach and village litter pick in Westward Ho! on Saturday 21 March, from 10am–12pm.
The event will be jointly hosted by Plastic Free Torridge and the Northam Burrows Rangers, who will provide all the equipment volunteers need. The clean up will set off from the Westward Ho! slipway, offering a fantastic opportunity for people to work together to help care for the coastline while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
As well as joining the community clean up, you can support the Great British Spring Clean by making your own pledge. To find out more or to make your pledge, visit the Keep Britain Tidy website – Great British Spring Clean | Keep Britain Tidy
