Nice and clean
Today , it was revealed that Blackpool South, Blackpool Central and Bispham have come up trumps in the national awards, announced by Keep Britain Tidy. They all won for their high standards of beach management, along with their nearby facilities and water quality.
On the Promenade alone, Blackpool has more than 800 litter bins, including 250 large capacity bins. Under normal conditions, they are emptied daily and collections are increased when there is good weather and high visitor numbers.Reminders are in place to prompt everyone to get rid of their rubbish in the nearest available bin or take it with them.
Cllr Jane Hugo, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said: “This is great news for local residents and visitors to Blackpool. So many people work extremely hard to keep our beaches clean as we know how popular and much loved they are. “On behalf of the council I’d like to thank everyone who has played their part and securing this independent seal of approval. From our dedicated Streetscene and Beach Patrol teams, to the many volunteers who litter pick, to every person that does the right thing and disposes of their litter responsibly.”
Blackpool is part of Turning Tides, the cross-agency partnership, working together in North West England to improve the quality of bathing waters. The aim is to ensure everyone enjoys beaches for generations to come, through infrastructure, planning, campaigning, volunteering, educating, engaging and hard work.
