A volunteer litter-picking group within the borough of Reigate & Banstead has been shortlisted for a prize at the Keep Britain Tidy national awards.

Tadworth, Kingswood, Lower Kingswood, Walton & Burgh Heath Litter Pickers is an independent group of volunteers dedicated to cleaning up litter from parts of the borough.

The Council nominated the group for the award, which is organised by eight area leaders, who then liaise with around 600 group members via their Facebook page.

The Keep Britain Tidy Awards will be presented at the charity’s annual Network Conference at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole hotel on 10 February 2022.
