Team members of the Little Litter League included Liyana Ahmed, 7, and Space Teddy author Mustafa Abidin, both of Manor Junior School.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking after the record was broken, Zoinul Abidin from Darul Ummah Goresbrook commented, \u201cWe are very grateful for the positive and kind words from our neighbours. It was really nice to chat to random people whilst we cleaned the streets. We\u2019re so pleased to have broken the League record and our next target is to beat 50 bags!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Little Litter League team captain Emdad Rahman added, \u201cLitter picking is a positive community activity and aside from ensuring a clean neighbourhood, it promotes unity, inclusion and goodwill, whilst raising the aspirations of the local residents. What a fantastic team effort today \u2013 this will inspire others to do the same in their own communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cf<\/span>The Government has brought together a Chewing Gun Task Force to clean up streets. The scheme will see chewing gum producers \u2013 including Mars Wrigley, GlaxoSmithKline and Perfetti Van Melle, managed by charity Keep Britain Tidy \u2013 invest up to \u00a310 million over the next five years to help reduce gum litter. The investment will be used to clean up historic gum litter staining and use behavioural interventions to encourage people to bin their gum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Environment Minister Rebecca Pow said, \u201cThe stains of discarded chewing gum are a blight on our communities, spoiling our streets and wasting millions of pounds of taxpayers\u2019 money. This new scheme means chewing gum producers are not only helping to clean up towns and cities as they welcome people back to our high streets, but crucially taking action to prevent people littering in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are committed to building back better and greener and this commitment to making town centres a more attractive and inviting place is a key part of our long-term strategy to breathe new life into our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>\u25cfTo catch up with the news in East London, go to:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">East London News<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfWatch East London\u2019s weekly news magazine programme,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">live at 10pm every Tuesday and on demand all week:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VodTalk\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>The Tuesday Show<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emdad Rahman THE #littlelitterleague has smashed its litter pick record.
