The initiative is open to everyone—residents, businesses, and visitors—and aims to clean up the area while promoting sustainability and community involvement. There will be four start locations, including Queens Promenade, Gynn Square, Central Promenade, and South Promenade.

Diane Farley, Enveco’s Neighbourhood Officer, said: “We're excited to collaborate with the Sea Life Centre and encourage as many people as possible to get involved. Together, we can help keep Blackpool’s beautiful coastline litter-free.”
