FLAG will be holding events in Fylde as part of the Clean For The Queen campaign, which is being run by Keep Britain Tidy to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. We are currently in the planning stage and will announce more details as we have them, but want to work with the community during the event, which will run from Friday 4th March through to Sunday 6th March 2016. To sign up for the event please visit https://www.fylde.gov.uk/forms/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=894 Community groups, schools, businesses and residents can nominate an area they feel is a litter hot spot and with the support of FLAG and Fylde Council can organise a litter picking event. The litter picking events can take place on the beach, in local parks, open spaces and highways, including back streets. During the event a competition will be running for any local volunteer litter picking groups to win prizes. .

Durham Coast
Durham's coastline is unique. Nowhere else in Britain has such a wonderful display of magnesian limestone coastal grasslands supporting a vast array of wildflowers and insects. Most of the coast is now designated as a National Nature Reserve with several Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The England Coast Path runs through the area and is becoming evermore popular with visitors. The beaches are improving after the impact of coal mining and coastal towns such as Seaham have seen a dramatic increase in tourism. The beaches still suffer from litter and are regularly cleaned by groups of keen volunteers. If you would like to join in please see the upcoming event section for more details. We can support groups who want to carry out their own event by supplying equipment (bags, litterpickers, gloves etc) and organising the safe collection and disposal of the rubbish bags after the event. Please pass this information on to anyone you think may be interested.
