The clean city partnership is responsible for delivering part of outcome 8 and NI 195. It works to raise standards of local environmental quality, including reducing litter, detritus, graffiti and fly tipping.
Chairman: Jacqui Kennedy OBE; Director of Regulatory Services, Birmingham City Council.
Membership consists of representatives from: Birmingham City Council, CSV Environment, Keep Britain Tidy, Midland Heart, Summerfields Resident Association, West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Police.
The clean city partnership has supported these projects in 2008/09:
- Neighbourhood Charters- working with six priority neighbourhoods in Birmingham to develop cleaner, safer, greener neighbourhood charters. For more information about the programme so far click here to view a presentation.
- Anti Graffiti programme- Birmingham City Council and a variety of partners have developed a sustainable solution to deal with graffiti. The approach works in 4 ways: intelligence, enforcement, removal and prevention.
- Clean Priority Neighbourhoods- this project provides cleanliness survey data from the city's 25 priority neighbourhoods to support neighbourhood managers to prioritise and focus cleaning activities. A surveyor, travelling in an electric car, measures litter, fly-tipping, fly-posting graffiti etc.
- Secured sites- secures and regenerates fly-tipped and disused land across the city. Projects range from gating, fencing and lanscaping, to complete regeneration of sites into parks and wildlife gardens.
