Truro Cleans Up!
The City of Truro has the proud distinction of being presented with the much coveted Gold Award - Cities Category at the 2009 Clean Britain Awards. Promoted by the British Cleaning Council, the awards are held every two years and are announced in early March at the NEC Cleaning Show near Birmingham.
A total of 63 entries were received from local authorities all over the UK. All entrants received from an anonymous half day inspection visit during the second half of 2008 and were judged on a number of criteria: litter and fly tipping, waste bin management, chewing gum and cigarette litter, dog fouling, signage and street furniture cleanliness.
