Street Champion Day of Action Gravesham BC

Gravesham now has more than 530 Street Champions. We came together in Gravesend Town Centre on Tuesday for ASB Awareness Week to litter pick and to be seen out in force.

A StreetChampion 'Day of Action' took place this week to mark ASB Awareness Week 2023.

 

Approximately 25 volunteers met in Gravesend Town Centre to participate in a litter pick, and to engage with members of the public about the blight of littering and the hard work that goes into keeping Gravesham clean and tidy.

 

Our Street Champions collected more than 30 sacks of litter in just under two hours.

 

Littering is a serious form of anti-social behaviour that affects each of us as it is so visual.  Since April 2023, our Street Cleansing Team have collected an average of 5.7 tonnes of litter, street sweepings and fly-tipping every single day in the borough.

 

While our Street Cleansing Team and the Street Champions work tirelessly year-round to combat litter, it is a persistent issue and this week our Street Champions were seen out in force to highlight the issue of littering.
