Larkfleet helps launch Corby anti-litter campaign

We are always glad to put something back into the communities where we have developments. With that in mind Larkfleet Homes is backing the Corby Clean and Proud campaign.

The initiative is being led by the Great Oakley Group and the de Capell Brooke family.

Our joint managing director Helen Hick was on hand to help launch the campaign.

Larkfleet has worked closely with the Great Oakley Group and Alexander de Capell Brooke on the delivery of Oakley Rise, part of the larger Oakley Vale development in Corby.

There’s little point in creating places like Oakley Rise, with a great sense of community in a very appealing area, unless you keep the place tidy – which is why we were happy to join the Corby Clean and Proud campaign.

Other founding partners include Mid-West Landscaping, Brooke Weston Trust and The David Laing Foundation.

The Corby Clean and Proud campaign is urging Corby businesses to pledge to keep the town’s streets clean and tidy.

Businesses are encouraged to take the CLEAN pledge in the lead up The Great British Spring Clean week at the end of February. CLEAN calls for local businesses to;

• Commit to reducing the litter local to the Corby community
• Learn more about the impact of litter in our communities
• Engage with fellow businesses for a collective effort to keep the area clean
• Act as an ambassador in promoting waste reduction
• Notify the council if you spot any excessive littering

Corby Borough Council will be holding events to mark the week and businesses can take part in these or set up their own as part of their pledge.

Each business to sign up will receive a campaign certificate and window sticker and be featured on the campaign website.
