The work, which is being carried out in partnership between High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council and New Mills Town Council, will focus on the Torrs and the town centre areas. It includes:
Residents are invited to sign up as volunteer environmental rangers to help with the clean up. They can also nominate 'grot spots' that they would like to be included in the clean up.
Councillor David Lomax, Chair of the Central Area Forum said: "Graffiti, overgrown trees and shrubs and litter are all going to be targeted in the clean up. Please let us know if you would like to help so that we can get New Mills cleaner, greener and safer."
If anyone would like to help with the work they should contact Rachel Billings on 0845 129 77 77 extension 3527.
