Ampfield Parish Council would like to share the following information from The Solent Forum:

The Solent Forum and Environment Agency have launched the Solent Plastics Pollution hub (SPP hub) as part of the Interreg funded Preventing Plastic Pollution Project. The SPP hub supports and champions all the great work being undertaken by local community groups and volunteers. The hub collates resources and shares the latest information about plastics and litter across the Solent.

The hub is in two parts, a website that hosts free resources and material which you may need to support an existing litter picking or community group or establish a new one. The second part is a Facebook page where local events, best practice and news on litter and plastics are shared.

Within six months of the launch (February 2022), 850+ people and groups have used the SPP hub and 58 local events have been shared. Visit the SPP hub or scan our QR codes to find out more and join us or keep up to date by liking our Facebook page and sending us your news and events to share.
