Forty bags of rubbish were collected in Derby by volunteers who gave up their time to support the Great British Spring Clean. Streets in Derby were also jet washed, cleared of litter, and outdated signage was taken down. There was also planting, planter painting and graffiti removal – thanks to the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter Business Improvement District (BIDs). Working alongside Derby City Council, over 50 volunteers from local businesses helped in the Great British Spring Clean. Staff from Penscribe, Barclays, Juniper, Work Pays, residents from the Condor (Grainger Homes) and the BID Rangers rolled up their sleeves.
McDonalds and Tesco provided volunteers with refreshments, and other businesses who supported included Carnero Lounge, Costa and Subway. As part of the national initiative, businesses signed up to take part in a number of activities. In total, ten events were planned in the St Peters Quarter and Cathedral Quarter areas.
