Katch Katikati are asking locals to consider “adopting” a street and making it theirs by keeping it beautiful and clear of litter.

The Adopt A Street programme offers an easy and rewarding way to make a difference, one street at a time.

The initiative encourages individuals, families, businesses and community groups to adopt a street and commit to regular clean-ups of their chosen street or area to keep litter at bay.

“It’s a great way for businesses to give back to the community, boost their local profile, and for sports clubs and organisations to come together for a shared cause,” says Katch Katikati marketing manager Fiona Powell.

“Plus, it’s a fantastic team-building activity, bringing employees or members together in a positive, hands-on way.”

By joining, volunteers will play a vital role in improving the appearance of our town, Fiona says, for both locals and visitor enjoyment.

“Businesses, community organisations, sports clubs and other local groups are especially encouraged to get involved and lead by example by showing a commitment to the wellbeing of our town.”
