INGATESTONE AND FRYERNING LITTER ACTION GROUP

bullet What is it and what is its purpose?

It is a joint initiative set up in 2003 between local residents, the Anglo European School, Brentwood Borough Council, the Parish Council and local businesses.
Its purpose is "To promote a litter free culture in Ingatestone and Fryerning and a sustainable and effective system for the removal of litter and detritus where it is found". Rather than just accepting litter as a part of modern life or blaming someone else for it, we want to TACKLE the problem from all angles.
bulletHow is it run?

By a committee which meets approximately every two months.
