Falkirk Council’s litter strategy team is once again running its annual Community Awards to promote and reward the good work of individuals, groups, schools and businesses all doing their bit for their area.

A litter strategy team spokesman said: “We have a wide variety of new categories in 2016 and, in a change to previous years, we are asking you to nominate yourself, or your group, for an award within these categories.”
