November 27th 2008 The 2008/2009 Clean Britain Awards, promoted by The British Cleaning Council, are being presented on the opening day of the 2009 NEC Cleaning Show on Tuesday 10th March.
A total of sixty three entries were received from Local Authorities across the UK eighteen cities, twelve towns and thirty three districts.
Every entry has received an unannounced half day visit from one of the authorised Awards assessors, posing as a visitor. Assessment criteria included first impressions; litter and fly tipping; cigarette butt, chewing gum and dog fouling deposits; waste bin management; signage and street furniture cleanliness; unauthorised graffiti and overhanging/obstructing hedgerows on busy pedestrian routes.
Every entry will receive a star grading and five star Awards, along with a total of thirteen National Awards will be presented to winners on 10th March. There will be a Bronze, Silver and Gold Award winner for each of the three entry categories Cities, Towns and Districts, and three Special Awards, where the judging team feel a particular entry deserves national recognition.
