Love Your Street

Love Your Street was introduced following a pledge from the Elected Mayor Norma Redfearn to make sure North Tyneside’s streets remained spick and span.

The campaign encourages residents to take pride in their street, whether that is by not dropping litter, picking up after their pets or becoming part of a group who takes responsibility for the area.

Currently, there are a number of campaigns being run by North Tyneside Council to tackle litter and dog fouling and make sure North Tyneside continues to be an attractive place to live, work and visit.

These include North Tyneside in Bloom, Big Spring Clean, Operation Hotspot and the autumn campaign. Love Your Street is the overarching campaign to bring all together under a year-round initiative.

There are a number of ways residents can get involved with this campaign.

The council will support residents in their efforts, supplying litter picks and bags for any street clean-ups and offering to collect any rubbish collected afterwards.

You can register your area to be a part of Love Your Street by completing the form attached to this webpage and selecting the Love Your Street category.

A resource pack to help residents coordinate and promote their events is available and can be found below.

If you’re keen to find other ways to Love Your Street, how about closing your street every few weeks to allow children to play and neighbours to meet? Play.Meet.Street North Tyneside can help you do this. 
 
Street play sessions are short, stewarded road closures, giving children the chance to play safely near home, but also making the street feel safer and friendlier for everyone. Parents or carers are always responsible for their own children’s safety and behaviour, as normal.
 
Play.Meet.Street North Tyneside supports residents every step of the way, from consulting with neighbours, to liaising with the council, and planning the actual street play session.
