“"Keeping our Borough clean, tidy and looking its best is something we all have a responsibility for. We all want to feel proud of where we live, and by working together, we can make a real difference to our communities. That is why we launched Operation TLC to improve our streets, parks and public spaces. But this isn't something the Council can or should do alone. We need residents, community groups and local businesses to play their part too. Our councillors must lead from the front, rolling up their sleeves and working shoulder to shoulder with local people to make our neighbourhoods cleaner, tidier and better cared for. These Big Borough Clean-ups are about bringing people together, strengthening community spirit and showing what we can achieve when everyone does their bit. So whether you can spare an hour or a whole morning, please come along, get involved and help us make a difference. This is our Borough, our community and our shared responsibility. Together, let’s make Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough a place we are all proud to call home."

Councillors are spearheading a series of 'Big Borough Clean-Ups' across Newcastle-under-Lyme, as the Borough Council intensifies its efforts to enhance local neighbourhoods through Operation TLC.
The initiative, part of the Council’s new £1.85 million programme called Operation TLC, aims to deliver cleaner streets, better-maintained public spaces, and visible improvements throughout the Borough. The community events are scheduled for 14 and 15 November and 12 and 13 December.
These clean-ups will involve council teams, residents, and community partners working together to address local environmental issues and provide neighbourhoods with dedicated care. This effort builds upon the Council’s existing Civic Pride programme, encouraging communities to collaborate on improving their local areas.
The broader Operation TLC programme will fund ongoing improvements to streets, parks, and public spaces in Newcastle-under-Lyme over the coming years. This includes investment in street furniture, play equipment, weed control, graffiti removal, and other environmental enhancements.
