Charnwood Borough Council

The Community Champions scheme is a new initiative for Charnwood Borough Council, who are working with the waste collection and street cleaning contractor, Serco, and will go live from mid-January 2010.

A team of volunteer Community Champions is being set up from across the Borough, and they are being asked to help monitor the effectiveness and quality of street cleaning services. They are helping to supplement the service provided by Charnwood Borough Council and Serco, by acting as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the community, to help keep the Borough clean through reporting litter hot-spots, graffiti, fly tipping and other environmental crimes and hazards, as they go about their day-to-day business.

It is important that all areas of the Borough are represented to ensure that as many ‘grot spots’ as possible are reported. If you’re interested in becoming a Community Champion for your local area, please get in touch by phoning 01509 634 694. We’ll then check existing coverage of Community Champions in your local area, and whether or not further Champions are needed.
