\"tidyuptogetherlogo\"<\/a>North East Lincolnshire Council began an exciting new programme of works in September this year which will last for around six months – the Tidy Up Together campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re investing \u00a3150,000 in a borough-wide, ward-by-ward clear up campaign. We are encouraging residents, community groups and partners, such as the social housing provider, Shoreline, to get involved \u2013 from helping us find those problem spots, to getting involved in community clear up days. And this is where we need your help.<\/p>\n

Over the coming weeks and months, we need residents and local businesses in each ward to nominate areas that need particular attention \u2013 in any of the work areas below. Ward councillors are also getting involved \u2013 some doing hands on work in the wards, others helping to co-ordinate work around the borough.<\/p>\n

So far, we\u2019ve removed 350Kg of dog fouling, and in the first four weeks of the campaign alone, we removed 115 tonnes of waste \u2013 that\u2019s nearly eight single decker buses worth!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been in Humberston, New Waltham, Waltham and Immingham, as well as the rural parts of our borough. We\u2019re currently in Freshney, and then we\u2019re moving to West Marsh, Yarborough, South and Scartho.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been working with local schools on an education programme, and have people who can come to a school or group near you if you want. Perhaps you\u2019ve spotted a street sign that needs repairing, or have an idea about transforming an alleyway near you? We want to work with you to help tidy up your area, but we want you to help us so we can sustain the life of this project.<\/p>\n

Each area will have its own particular issues, and the more information we have from the people who live and work there, the better we can allocate resources when coming in to your ward and sorting out local problems for the good of the whole borough.<\/p>\n

Alongside our normal street cleansing and maintenance activities that will continue while this project is ongoing, the sorts of things we are looking to tackle are:
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 removal of weeds, dog fouling, fly posting, fly tipping;
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 grounds maintenance, such as grass cutting, litter picking, hedge trimming, attending to young trees and cutting grass;
\n\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 hard landscaping and utility works, such as replacing broken flags, relaying uneven paving, filling in small potholes, replacing street signs and repairing street furniture, and repainting lamp posts where required.<\/p>\n

Councillor Ray Oxby, portfolio holder for environment and housing, said, “I implore communities and groups to please get involved. Whether that’s educating younger children or getting your group involved in tidying up, it’s important that the work that’s being done at the moment is sustained. We want people to be proud of their area – and help to keep it looking welcoming, inviting and a generally attractive place to live.”<\/p>\n

So why not call (01472) 324500 or email customer.requests@nelincs.gov.uk<\/a> to nominate the spots you\u2019d like clearing.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll help support us, and look forward to seeing some of you when we\u2019re in your area.<\/p>\n\n
