Green and tidy - the aim for the latest community clean-up

Ascot residents are invited to bag up litter and clear vegetation as part of a community clean-up at Langdale Drive, Ascot, on Monday 3 September.

Volunteers will join Royal Borough community wardens, members of the community safety team and volunteer police cadets (VPC) for the start of the clean-up at 9.30am.

Brian Martin, community safety manager, said: "The area chosen for the latest community clean-up is generally clean and tidy but we want to make sure it stays that way and is really 'green and tidy'.

"Clean-up days are great - but the effort must be sustained throughout the year. Community wardens work with their local community all year round to instill pride in the area and I am pleased that once again they have taken the initiative and organised a clean-up. We hope that having a cleaner community will help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

"Please come along on the day and support the community and make it greener, cleaner and more pleasant for everyone."

Sgt Rob Dalton, volunteer police cadet leader for Windsor and Maidenhead, said: "The community clean-up is another excellent opportunity for the Windsor and Maidenhead volunteer police cadets to work with their community on local initiatives like this. Both the Ascot retirement fair last week and this forthcoming event show that young people are also committed to making their communities safer and cleaner and are not afraid to get their hands dirty in the process.

"The cadets will continue to support their neighbourhood policing team with other planned events."
