Across the South West, The Big Clean saw MPs, councillors and volunteers lead or join nearly 20 events at litter hotspots across the region, including beaches, streets and parks. Litter-pick events took place across the region, from Perranporth in Cornwall, to Bournemouth in Dorset and Cheltenham in Gloucestershire.
I joined Cllrs David Hall and Clare Paul, Unitary Candidates Jonathan Munday and Cllr Gemma Verdon together with the Chairman of Somerton and Frome Conservative Association, Julian Stapleton and a group of wonderful local volunteers at The Big Clean South West litter-picking event in Somerton, promoted by South West Conservatives.
This was a tremendous effort from our supporters and it was encouraging to hear so many positive comments from members of the public; a great team effort from Somerton Conservatives.
