Joining together in Spring Clean 2019 increases the impact we can have on our fellow citizens and the City Council. It shows we are committed to a cleaner Oxford.

In 2018, 80 Groups from across the city registered to clean up to the streets, public spaces and grotspots . Then the snow fell! Many groups rescheduled for later dates demonstrating their commitment to a cleaner Oxford. We hope that even more groups will take part this year and enjoy the fun and satisfaction of doing so..
