This £9.75 million programme will provide every local authority in England with grant funding to work with community groups to carry out locally-led spring cleans on their high streets and town centres.</p><p>Our ambition is to build strong, resilient and empowered communities where local citizens feel proud of the place in which they live – and this money will empower local authorities to support residents to take control over their high streets and town centres.</p><p>Events are scheduled across the country to take place in March to coincide with clean-up campaigns, including the Great British Spring Clean beginning on 22 March.
