Residents of Carlton Miniott took part in the national Clean for The Queen tidy-up last weekend. They were joined by Kevin Hollinrake MP for Thirsk and Malton.
“I enjoyed taking part in tidying up alongside so many enthusiastic constituents to help make sure the village looked its best for Her Majesty. The community spirit alongside national and Yorkshire pride was great to witness; we live in a beautiful part of the country and it is right we should do our part to keep it that way.”
Altogether, across the UK more than a million people have been out and about clearing up the places where they live to help celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday in April.
The campaign, backed by organisations including the Women’s Institute, the National Trust and the RSPB, as well as businesses including McDonald’s, Costa, Greggs, KFC and Wrigley and anti-litter charities such as Keep Britain Tidy and the Campaign to Protect Rural England, was the biggest community-led clean-up the country has ever seen.
