Join the Northam Burrows Rangers and Plastic Free Torridge for the Great British Spring Clean 2024!

Torridge District Council is proud to be participating in the Great British Spring Clean 2024, the largest mass action environmental campaign in the country. The campaign runs from the 15th to the 31st March and aims to inspire people to come together and work in partnership to collect and safely dispose of litter from their local streets, parks, and beaches. The council is committed to promoting and supporting this important initiative to keep the environment clean and healthy for everyone.

Back for its ninth year, the council is once again encouraging the local community to participate in a beach clean event at Westward Ho! on Sunday 24th March, between 10.00 am -12:00 pm. The event will be jointly hosted by Plastic Free Torridge and the Northam Burrows Rangers. Participants will be provided with equipment for the clean-up by the Rangers and will set off from the Westward Ho! slipway. The event will provide a great opportunity for people to work together to collect litter from the beach, whilst also enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Councillor Lyndon Piper, Lead Member for Leisure, said: 

"I hope people will join us for the Beach Clean Event at Westward Ho! on the 24th of March, but maybe also think about organising their own grand or small-scale clean-up in a town, village, or favourite spot closer to home. Be sure to regularly check the council's social media and website to stay up to date with the latest events and activities throughout the spring and summer seasons!"
