Which is the UK’s cleanest city?
One of 11 UK cities will be able to add another string to its bow in March when it is declared the UK’s cleanest city.
The City of London will be defending its title against ten other finalists. The bi-annual award was developed by the British Cleaning Council (BCC) in 1998 and is given to the city which presents itself as the cleanest, but also encourages awareness of the enivronment.
When judges visit the cities for random inspections, they visit the main tourist attractions, often at peak season to assess how the city is handling the litter and waste created by extra visitors. This includes tourist attractions, bus and railway stations, car parks and public loos.
The BCC judges say they that are not distracted by floral arrangements, but focus on basic street cleaning.
There are usually a total of ten finalists, but the BCC said that standards were so high for 2003, that they have chosen 11 finalists. These are: The City of London, The City of Westminster, Canterbury, Chester, Plymouth, Bristol, Truro, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Edinburgh, York and Lincoln.
The winner will be announced in March 2003 at the opening ceremony of the Cleaning Show in Birmingham’s NEC. Previous winners include Chester, Aberdeen, Birmingham and Canterbury.
