Are you considering holding an event this year and would

If the answer is YES, please read on...
Community action through successful partnership working is at
the core of sustainable development. Braintree District
Council, Parish Councils, Local business, Community groups and
residents must work together to change the way we live our lives,
so that future generations can benefit and have improved
quality of life.
The links below will contain everything you need to raise
environmental awareness on sustainable issues. All leaflets,
pledges and software have been used successfully and together we
can help to create a Cleaner and Greener District.
