Businesses in Largs are joining in the effort to encourage visitors and the public to be environmentally aware.

As part of their ‘Clean and Safe Campaign’ for the town, Explore Largs is currently creating an educational awareness leaflet aimed at all aspects of hygiene; from putting rubbish in bins and clearing away dog faeces to refraining from feeding the gulls.

The leaflets will be distributed to key outlets and shops in Largs by the Explore Largs Street ambassadors, who will engage with businesses to encourage responsible tourism.

John Hamilton, the BID Manager said: “Largs is a magnificent town and we want to help businesses maintain its reputation of beauty and hospitality, whilst reminding everyone, local residents and tourists alike, that we all play a part in keeping Largs clean and safe.”
