As part of its ongoing Support Local initiative, Aylesbury Town Council has successfully launched their Tidy Town Taskforce - a community-led effort aimed at enhancing the appearance of Aylesbury Town Centre and fostering civic pride.

Over 75 Volunteers from across the town, including local businesses, families, residents and Councillors, The Aylesbury Wombles, Dan’s Community Charity, Aylesbury 1st Scouts, Aylesbury 1st Brownies and Rainbows came together to tackle litter, remove weeds, and clean public spaces such as bins, planters, signage, and street furniture. The event highlighted the power of collaboration and the shared commitment to keeping Aylesbury welcoming and well-maintained.

All necessary equipment was provided by the Town Council, with many participants also bringing their own tools. Refreshments were available throughout the day, helping to keep spirits high as the community worked side by side.

Leader of the council Cllr Richard Lloyd said: “It was fantastic to see so many people from our community taking such pride in our town centre and giving up their own personal time to make a difference, it was very humbling to see and be part of.”

The Council extends its thanks to everyone who took part and looks forward to future events that continue to strengthen community ties and celebrate local pride.
