Clean Britain Awards Entry

Possible headings could include, but are not be limited to:

  • Demographic information about your area (i.e. population, urban or rural, areas of interest or tourism etc)
  • A map of your area and its boundaries (to show the judges the area to be inspected)
  • Vision statements and objectives
  • The services you provide, including systems and process’ used (street sweeping frequencies, litter bin management, gum removal etc)
  • Challenges and key achievements
  • Community projects and engagement
  • Partnership working (e.g. privately owned areas & management companies, highways agency, network rail etc)

Entry Categories

There will be three categories of entry for the 2010/2011 Clean Britain Awards:

  • CITIES
  • TOWNS
  • DISTRICTS

NB: Entries should cover the whole of a councils controlled area

Entry Fees

There will be one standard entry fee for all entries in each of the three entry categories of CITY, TOWN and DISTRICT. This is £650 + VAT per entry.
The entry fee will cover:

  • A review by the Inspection team of the quality of the entry submitted – background information, current cleaning practices and procedures etc.
  • A half day inspection tour of the entry area or a portion of the entry area selected at random
  • A summary report following the inspection process – to be issued after the announcement of the 2010/2011 Clean Britain Awards winners at the Awards Presentation in March 2011

While Clean Britain Awards entries need to be approved/authorised by the relevant Local Authority, the entry fee can be sponsored by a body other than the Local Authority – e.g. a contractor or other commercial organisation.
