Nottingham City Council and Capital One are joining forces to help clean up Silverdale and Clifton.

Volunteers from Capital One and the City Council’s Street Scene team will come together on Tuesday November 4 to clean up the Silverdale walkway and cycle path and Fairham Brook from 10am until 1pm.

Over twenty volunteers from Capital One will clear the areas of litter and fly tipping to encourage more people to make use of the cycle ways and green areas.

The clean up is also highlighting the work of the new local Neighbourhood Environmental Action Teams, with nine new vehicles being introduced across the city, to help deal with local grot spots.

Cllr Katrina Bull, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change at Nottingham City Council, said: “This area was highlighted by local residents as needing some attention to encourage more people to enjoy the walk ways and cycle ways. The volunteers will set about cleaning the area to hopefully push the local public to take an active commitment towards looking after their local environment.

Residents are advised to report local grot spots to the Streetscene hotline on 915 2000.
