<p>The Government is delighted to support and endorse the Clean for the Queen initiative.
Litter and fly-tipping blight communities and pose a risk to human health, which is
why tackling them is a priority for the Government. I gave my backing to the campaign
when it was launched and we will continue to promote it, to help reach as many people
as possible.</p><p> </p><p>Together with the Minister for Local Government, Marcus
Jones MP, I shall be writing to every Member of Parliament with an English constituency
and every English unitary and district Local Authority, to encourage their participation
and leadership in this worthwhile campaign.</p><p> </p><p>Our experience from the
first Community Clear-Up Day in March last year demonstrated the enthusiasm and willingness
of people across England to give some of their time to improve their local environment.
The Clean for the Queen campaign provides a great opportunity for people to come together
and clean up our local streets and parks.</p><p> </p><p>We hope the campaign will
help lead to a lasting legacy of a cleaner, tidier Britain.</p>
