Creative and musical minds are being sought by Beeston & Holbeck Councillors to come up with the perfect jingles and slogans to combat littering and dog fouling in their ward of Beeston and Holbeck.
Inspired by the ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’ campaign that’s been running for forty years in the Lone Star State with support from locals such as Matthew McConaughey and Willie Nelson, Cllrs Andrew Scopes, Annie Maloney and Shaf Ali are looking for the ideal phrase to tackle the blight of litter in Beeston and Holbeck.
Anyone with a slogan, jingle or an image for a billboard in mind should email Andrew.Scopes@leeds.gov.uk
Councillor Andrew Scopes (Labour, Beeston and Holbeck), said:
“Reading about the ‘Don’t Mess With Texas’ campaign – which reduced litter on highways by over 70% over three years – made me wonder if there’s a similar phrase that could do the same for our patch of Leeds.
“I know that my fellow residents of Beeston and Holbeck are a creative bunch and I’m sure that many will be up for the challenge of coming up with the right slogan to instil pride in our community and combat the blight of littering in our area.”
