McMillan Says ‘National Spring Clean’ Can Keep Inverclyde Beautiful


Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP West of Scotland) is encouraging people in Inverclyde to take part in April’s National Spring Clean.

Organised by Keep Scotland Beautiful the campaign runs throughout April, and communities in Inverclyde are encouraged to show pride in their local area by helping to keep it clean and tidy.

Mr. McMillan said;

"I hope people in Inverclyde will take this opportunity to play their part in sprucing up the area as spring approaches.

"The Scottish Government has provided additional funding to support events across Scotland, so I hope that even more than the 20,000 people who took part nationwide last year will get involved this year.

"During this Year of Homecoming, when we are expecting many extra visitors to Scotland, it will be great if community pride helps keep Inverclyde looking at its very best.

"I am looking forward to helping out the pupils at Earnhill Primary School in Greenock with their National Spring Clean event on 24 April and hope other schools and community groups will take up the opportunity to do their bit too.

"It’s easy to get involved and more information is available on existing events and help to plan your own on the website http://springclean.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/".
