Cleaner Green Campaign at Thorne & Moorends DMBC As part of the council’s Cleaner Green campaign it was been agreed that the campaign would go to Thorne/Moorends in February. This follows on from a couple of successful events at the end of last year; the more successful area was where there was high footfall and any impact was clearly visible to the public. If you are not aware of the cleaner greener campaign it is essentially a joint initiative between Enforcement, Street Scene, Communities and Comms which aims to increase the pride in the borough and encourage everybody to take responsibility for keeping Doncaster clean.
