Stockport borough set for eight-week clean-up operation in parks and high streets

An eight-week clean-up operation is taking place around Stockport.
Starting from this week, Stockport Council will be carrying out 'organised clean-up ' events across the borough, with support from local friends' groups, schools, businesses and more.
They'll be working on high streets, parks and greenspaces, and they'll also be removing illegal graffiti and collecting waste.
The council is encouraging local residents to join in. You can do so by organising litter picks, reporting fly-tipping, or volunteering at one of the borough's many parks.
Councillor Mark Hunter, Leader of Stockport Council, said: "I'm excited to launch this year's Spring Clean campaign alongside our brilliant TLC tipper crew.
"Maintaining the beauty of our borough takes hard work and is a collective effort. I encourage everyone to join the council and do their bit to ensure Stockport stays a great place for residents and visitors to enjoy."
Councillor Grace Baynham, Cabinet Member for Parks, Highways and Transport Services, said: "Our residents are proud of where they live, and I'm proud of the work we're doing together to make Stockport a greener, cleaner place for everyone.
"Our Spring Clean campaign is an opportunity to celebrate some of that hard work, and to highlight the unsung heroes who are making it happen.
"It's not just a chance to give back to your community; it's also a chance to get to know your neighbours, improve your health and wellbeing, and to make small changes that can lead to big improvements across the borough."
