Sign up to the Cleaner, Safer, Greener charter
Knowsley Council and its partners have committed to improving
the quality of the local environment by adopting a Cleaner, Safer,
Greener Charter for the Borough.
What is a Cleaner, Safer, Greener Charter?
It is a voluntary agreement between the Council, its partners
and the public of Knowsley to work together to improve the
appearance and quality of local neighbourhoods and public open
spaces, whilst advising our residents what standards of performance
they can expect from service providers in Knowsley.
What is a cleaner, safer and greener neighbourhood?
The charter outlines what a cleaner, safer, greener
neighbourhood should look and feel like, for example:
Cleaner
Well maintained streets which are free from litter, graffiti,
fly- posting and fly-tipping.
Safer
Well-lit neighbourhoods free from nuisance and anti-social
behaviour.
Greener
Parks that are attractive and inviting and full of people but
not blighted by dumped rubbish or abandoned vehicles.
Charter Vision
“This Charter represents the commitment from Knowsley Council
and its partners to ensure that Knowsley has a clean, safe and
green environment with attractive, sustainable neighbourhoods that
provide a sense of place and community, together with vibrant and
welcoming town centre. The Charter is an opportunity for all of us
to work together to deliver the priorities in the Sustainable
Communities Strategy that will make Knowsley the borough of
choice.”
The Pledge
We all share the vision for a Cleaner, Safer and Greener
Borough. We will seek to work together with our local communities
and with all service providers to ensure that service delivery
meets, and, where possible, exceeds the needs of local people, and
help make Knowsley a safe, clean and attractive borough to live,
work and enjoy.
How can we obtain copies of the charter?
Full versions of the charter will be available in One-stop-shops
and public libraries. Full copies can also be
downloaded, or to receive a copy by post, ring 0151 443
2400.
A summary leaflet has been produced which is being distributed
to homes across Knowsley.
