Stockport Council is launching a 'Spring clean' campaign to help tidy up local neighbourhoods.

The campaign is being implemented with the help of community groups across the borough, who will help organise litter picks and other tidying or beautifying projects.

Some of the groups getting involved alongside the council are Friends of Park groups, local schools, and the Totally Local Company.

The council is encouraging local residents to volunteer, aiming to "help residents play an active role in shaping and caring for the natural spaces that matter to them".

By encouraging volunteering, community action and stewardship, the campaign will help residents play an active role in shaping and caring for the natural spaces that matter to them.

Cllr Grace Baynham, cabinet member for parks, highways and transport, said: "Our Spring Clean campaign is a brilliant opportunity for everyone to come together and show the pride we all have in Stockport.

"Nobody wants to see litter and rubbish in their community and this campaign is about taking real pride in the places we live. Whether it's joining a litter pick, supporting a local school project or helping a Friends of Parks group, every small action contributes to cleaner, greener neighbourhoods.

"The council has introduced its Greenspace Strategy, which is all about strengthening and celebrating the natural spaces that make our borough special. I'd encourage everyone to get involved because together we can make a real difference to our borough."

John White, Totally Local Company, Divisional Head of Greenspace, Environmental Services said: "Our teams are at the heart of everything we do, and the Spring Clean campaign is a great opportunity to showcase their dedication and hard work.

"We're proud to support Stockport Council in keeping our streets clean and our greenspaces well maintained, ensuring our communities remain places people can enjoy and be proud of."
