Volunteers clear 23 bags of rubbish from Whalley Range

Whalley Range residents organised and carried out a successful clean up in their area as part of the Council’s Your Call campaign.

Around 25 volunteers took part in the clean up last Saturday, collecting a total of 23 bags of rubbish.

The residents suggested running the event in Bastwell, with three ward councillors Shaukat Hussain, Parwaiz Akhtar and Iftakhar Hussain helping out.

Assistant Executive Member for Health & Adult Social Care Cllr Shaukat Hussain said

Everyone likes to live in a clean and nice environment. The Your Call campaigns aims to achieve just that.

There have been more and more volunteers, with two or three local groups now.

We are more than happy to assist anyone who would like to join the campaign.

We would also urge residents to report any littering to the Council.

The Council’s Your Call campaign helps give residents and businesses the tools and support they need to make their areas and communities better.
