Keep Scotland Beautiful chief executive Barry Fisher said: \u201cCongratulations to all of our groups for their fantastic success at this year\u2019s ceremony \u2013 at a time where there is a lack of funding to support these groups and their efforts, their unwavering commitment to improve their neighbourhoods is an inspiration to us all.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic polling soon to be published by Keep Scotland Beautiful has found that 66 per cent of people are embarrassed by levels of litter<\/a> in their neighbourhood; thankfully, a brilliant network of groups across the country work tirelessly to make their towns and villages clean, vibrant, appealing and nature-friendly communities for all to enjoy and be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
