That the Parliament welcomes the news that the Moray Litter Prevention Forum is making large strides in forming a litter taskforce, with representatives from community councils, Moray litter-picking groups and environmental agencies; notes that following two successful meetings at the Lhanbryde Community Centre, the community-run project will be chaired by Steve Christie, a member of Elgin Community Council, understands that the meetings focussed on how litter has affected Moray, how it could be tackled and how the new group would work with larger organisations such as Moray Council, Keep Scotland Beautiful and the Forestry Commission; further notes that the group aim to appoint a vice-chair and treasurer at the next meeting as well as give the group some branding, including a logo and a catchy new name; thanks Steve Christie and Stephen Cooper, who is head of direct services at Moray Council, for their part in launching the group, and wishes the group the best of luck in their goal to tackle litter in Moray.
