Don't forget the Big Tidy up!
From Press Office on 10 September 2008
People are being reminded that they can join the Big Tidy Up which is sweeping its way across the borough later this month.
From September 20-28, Solihull Council is joining Keep Britain Tidy’s national campaign, and asking people to do their bit.
Anyone can take part in the clean-up, whatever their age or wherever they live, the Council will be providing litter picking equipment so all people need to bring is bags of enthusiasm. They can also come up with their own ideas.
