Normanton is an area of Derby which experiences a large amount of dumping

A website which allows people to make pledges online is being used

successfully by Normanton Liberal Democrat campaigner Joe Naitta to strengthen his campaign to clean up Normanton.

Joe has been promoting his campaign through regular "Focus" newsletters. He realised that another effective way to get people to support the campaign was to start up an online pledge. Using the pledgebank website he launched a pledge to help clean up Normanton and wanted ten other people to sign up before January 30th. The pledge has already more than met that target.

Joe Naitta said "This is more evidence that people in Normanton want to see the area cleaned up. I am regularly on the phone to the council asking them to clear rubbish, fill potholes and carry out various other tidying up tasks in Normanton.

"I hope other people will use the pledgebank website to support the clean up Normanton campaign and also to gather pledges for any good causes of their own."

The pledgebank website gives ordinary members of the public the chance to make a pledge online and then get other people to sign in support of the pledge. The pledgebank website can be found at www.pledgebank.com
