In the interview with Richard Evans and Michael Steptoe, reference was made to various documents or organisations. Here, below, are some of those: Love Where You Live week (From the bowels of RDC website) Posted on 14 June 2011 by admin New statistics show that England’s litter problem is getting worse. But the good news is a national campaign called ‘Love Where You Live’ has been launched by the Keep Britain Tidy group to try and combat this. The campaign intends to raise awareness about everyone taking responsibility to care for and protect where they live, by getting involved with litter picks or other activities which may help keep the local environment clean and tidy. There are already several community groups running their own litter picks. Getting involved can be a great way of meeting people and doing your bit to help keep the District a beautiful place to live, work and visit. The Council is encouraging both individuals and groups to organise their own litter picks, during the official ‘Love Where You Live’ week which takes place during the week commencing 19 September 2011. There will be a series of events taking place across the country, so why not get together with friends or family and take part? It doesn’t matter how long you spend picking litter or how much you collect, it all helps to improve our District. The ‘Love Where You Live’ campaign is already on Facebook and Twitter, so log on to find out more about what is happening and join up with others to tackle the litter problem. http://twitter.com/#!/LWYLengland http://www.facebook.com/lovewhereyoulive We’d love to hear your ideas for ‘Love Where You Live’ week events, or if you are planning to organise a litter pick, so email it to customerservices@rochford.gov.uk or call 01702 318111 and ask for Customer Services
