Green towns

We work closely with the council and local businesses to make sure that Batley and Dewsbury are clean and green places to live, work and visit.

Green Business Awards

We run an awards scheme called Green Business Awards, which encourages businesses to keep their premises neat and tidy as well as demonstrate their commitment to reducing their impact on the environment. If you run a local business and are interested to know more about these awards, please visit the Green Business and In Bloom.
