Residents across East Renfrewshire are being urged to sign up for the UK’s biggest-ever litter clean-up.
The Great British Spring Clean has one simple aim – to bring people across the country together to tackle the litter that blights towns, villages and the countryside.
The ambition for 2018 is to encourage 400,000 people to get outdoors, get active and help clear away the garbage that lurks around every corner.
A spokeswoman for Keep Britain Tidy, which is organising the event, has called on Barrhead News readers to play their part.
She said: “Anyone, anywhere can get involved and there are many ways to make a difference, including a simple litter-pick in your neighbourhood.
“Why not go above and beyond and care for the environment on your doorstep to help keep Britain tidy?
“If you think you have what it takes to join the growing army of litter heroes who are on a mission to create change this spring, then sign up now.”
The event takes place from March 2 until March 4.
