Bridgwater Town Council Cleans Up After Spectacular Carnival

Bridgwater Town Council

Following the Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival, Bridgwater Town Council's Operations team undertook a significant clean-up operation, collecting 7.6 tonnes of waste to prepare the town centre for Remembrance Sunday.

The extensive operation began in the early hours of Sunday morning, involving litter collection, street sweeping, and general preparation of the town centre. This effort is crucial for ensuring the town is clean, safe, and presentable for residents, businesses, and visitors, especially ahead of Remembrance Sunday when the community gathers to pay respects.
The annual clean-up is a major logistical undertaking, requiring coordinated work from council teams and contractors. Their partnership is vital in delivering this significant operation each year.

"Bridgwater Carnival is a fantastic showcase for our town, attracting thousands of people and creating an incredible atmosphere. While the Carnival may only last one evening, a tremendous amount of work goes on behind the scenes afterwards. Beginning in the early hours of Sunday morning, teams worked tirelessly to prepare the town for Remembrance Sunday and ensure Bridgwater was looking its best."
