THE Tidy Britain Group is telling people in Bucks they still have time to make a contribution to keeping their area free of rubbish.

Former Blue Peter presenter Anthea Turner has joined the Just Bin It campaign, UK's biggest anti-litter campaign.

She said: "Litter blights the reputation of any area and costs us as tax payers more than £350 million a year to clean up."

Thousands of groups have already risen to the challenge but organisers want more people to register their disgust at the rising litter problem.

Anthea added: "I got a bit of a reputation for keeping the Big Brother house tidy. Now people can also gain the reputation for keeping Bucks tidy."

Anyone interested in the Just Bin It campaign should contact Tidy Britain Group's freephone number on 0800 783 7838.
