Please be kind to our parks
Keep Britain Tidy are running a new campaign over the summer months as a result of the increases in littering and anti-social behaviour that have been seen since lockdown eased.
The new campaign, 'Please be kind to our parks' is part of Love Parks 2020 and hopes to curb some of the anti-social behaviour and littering that has increased since lockdown restrictions began to ease.
