The search is on to find groups, individuals and businesses across Wales that have gone the extra mile to rid our towns, villages and countryside of wanton damage and unpleasant littering.
JOYCE WATSON AM is urging local people across Mid and West Wales to enter the prestigious annual Keep Wales Tidy awards, which are sponsored by the Environment Agency Wales and Visit Wales.
Labour Assembly Member for Mid and West Wales JOYCE WATSON AM said:
“We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of Wales, and that is in part down to the efforts of our many unsung heroes who tackle litter across the region.
"These awards seek to recognise those people who have made a real difference to our communities. So many volunteers give of their time and talents to keep Wales tidy, and this is a great way for us to say thank you for their efforts.”
There are prizes of £500 in eleven categories, and an overall winner will receive a specially commissioned trophy and an additional £1,000:
- Large partnership award
- River improvement
- Beach improvement
- School
- Business
- Tourism Industry
- Public Sector
- Long-term effort
- Individuals
- Woodland improvement
- Community group
The deadline for nominations is September 30th, and the awards ceremony will take place in November.
