HAMPSHIRE residents are being encouraged to roll up their sleeves and get behind a nationwide spring clean this Saturday.

The Leader of Hampshire County Council Cllr Roy Perry is calling on communities across the county to join the first ever Community Clear Up Day, a Government initiative backed by Keep Britain Tidy.

The focus is on high streets, villages and parks.

More information about Community Clear Up Day can be found online, via Twitter #ClearUpDay, or on Facebook.
