Bedwell Residents’ Group spruced up their local area with a weekend litter picking morning in spring 2017. Stevenage Borough Council offered to help publicise future litter picking sessions and provided the group with high visibility jackets, with Bedwell Residents’ Group emblazoned across them, so people knew who they were and could join in.
The residents’ group plan regular litter picking sessions, meeting for a couple of hours every few months. The chairman of the residents’ group, said: “We want to help create a cleaner town, making our streets better to live and play in. The jackets are great as people immediately know who we are.”
