Stockport Council staff unite for community cleaning campaign

Stockport Council is leading an eight-week ‘Spring Clean’ campaign, organising clean-up events across Stockport.

This week, council staff will tidy district and local centres, parks, and greenspaces, while removing illegal graffiti and collecting waste.

They will be supported by local Friends of Parks groups, schools, businesses, and volunteers.

Other activities include gully cleansing, fly post removal, and raising awareness of fly-tipping and single-use plastic hazards.

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.
