Call to action to: Keep Batley Tidy. 

This week Kirklees is supporting the Keep Britain Tidy campaign to reduce litter on our streets. As part of the Great Big School Clean campaign, our Trust family of schools are supporting new local business, Heeleys, with a pledge to collect at least 100 bags of litter from the streets of Batley on Sunday 23 March. Litter blights our streets and parks across Batley, and all across the UK. It costs the country millions of pounds to clear up every year. Keep Britain Tidy is here to inspire people to eliminate litter now, and for future generations.

This is about more than simply getting people to pick up litter. Keep Britain Tidy aims to change behaviour permanently by spotlighting the problem daily and offering creative solutions. They work with people, businesses, schools, local authorities and government to educate, innovate and inspire - improving the environment on everyone’s doorstep.

Across our Trust family of schools we want to support this important campaign and raise awareness in our town of why it is important not to drop litter in the first place. Our children will be leading the way on this clean up campaign to help keep their streets litter free; for them, their families and anyone who visits Batley to enjoy, and for future generations to come. Let's be proud of our town and keep it looking fantastic each and every day. Batley Brilliance!
