COPELAND Council is offering litter picking kits to every community in the borough.
Part of the £159,000 government-funded Welcome Back scheme, the initiative encourages people to take pride in their surroundings, and make it easier to access the right equipment for a clean-up.
The 20 kits include litter pickers, gloves, high visibility vests, first aid kits, bin bags, bag rings, hand sanitiser and a holdall to store the kit in.
They have been offered to all town and parish councils, and any community groups or individuals will be able to borrow them.
