Community Freshview
Community Freshview is an off shoot of the successful monthly clean-up campaign Freshview. An 
award-winning scheme, Community Freshview sees residents join forces with the council to makeover their local areas.
After being approached by and helping several community groups to do their own clean-ups, the council saw an increase in demand for the service from more and more residents who were keen to get involved.
How does it work?
Community Freshview is led by residents, it is your chance to make a difference to the environment in your local area. Whether you want to brighten up a green space, give a facelift to a disused area of land or any other activity that improves your local environment, we will help you do it.
If you belong to a community group or have volunteers who want to help improve the environment in your neighbourhood, we can help you by giving you equipment, expertise and some extra helping hands.
What types of activities can I do?
You can do any activity that helps to improve the quality of the environment in your local area.
For example:
- Clearing and tidying an area of woodland
- Removing debris from disused land
- Cutting back overgrowth from alleyways and footpaths
- Brightening up local areas to make them visible and safe
