The national ‘Clean for the Queen’ initiative, which aims to clear up Britain in time for the Queen’s 90th birthday, will take place over this weekend, March 4 to 6.
Chairman of Lifton Parish Council Chris Edmonds told a meeting of the council last week: “A resident approached me about a litter pick around the village. Then, spookily, I read something about this initiative ‘Clean for the Queen’.”
Mentioning that litter picks are due to take place this weekend, Cllr Edmonds added: “I don’t think, if we decide to do something, we will hit that date.
“I think the WI do an annual litter pick around the village and I didn’t want to step on their toes.
“We might want to make a combined effort for the Queen.”
Cllr Edmonds proposed the parish council liaise with the WI to see if the group is planning a litter pick and, if so, whether members would be happy for a combined effort.
If agreed, a date for the litter pick would be chosen at the next parish council meeting.
