Pinkneys Green - latest area to benefit from community clean-up

Pinkneys Green will give litter the lick and say goodbye to graffiti when it becomes the latest area in the Royal Borough to benefit from this year's round of community clean-ups on Tuesday 20 July.

The clean-up gets going at Lancaster Road, Maidenhead at 10am when residents can join Royal Borough community wardens, borough streetcare officers, police officers, police community support officers, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue personnel, staff from Maidenhead and District Housing Association and local councillors to bag up litter and grapple with graffiti.

Cllr Colin Rayner, lead member for highways and streetcare, said: "Community clean-ups are a great way to instil a greater sense of ownership and pride in local areas.

"I am sure residents are reassured when they meet their community wardens or police community support officers and by coming along to days such as these they get the chance to get to know their community wardens even better.

"The council adopts a zero-tolerance approach to anti-social behaviour and crime and together with Thames Valley Police we will continue to deal robustly with the perpetrators.

"We look forward to implementing the new government's policies on crime and anti-social behaviour which is likely to mean that there will be a greater emphasis on local policing which can only be good news for our residents."
