Residents in Whiston are benefiting from a major clean-up operation as part of Knowsley Council’s Big Deal campaign.
People in Littlecroft spent the day working hard alongside the Council’s environmental enforcement team, neighbourhood management, Pride teams and Street scene operatives.
Between them, they removed around three tonnes of domestic rubbish in vans and filled another three skips with waste from their gardens, sheds and homes.
Following their fantastic efforts, the area will be kept under review with enforcement action being taken against anyone found flytipping. Residents have also been given useful information booklets containing guidance on a range of environmental issues.
Cllr David Lonergan, Knowsley Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services said: “This clean up was a tremendous success thanks to the incredible hard work of staff from Knowsley Council and residents. They have really made the area a cleaner, safer and more pleasant environment for everyone.”
Cllr Ken Keith, Knowsley Council’s Cabinet Member for Corporate and Customer Services added: “The clean up demonstrates Knowsley Council’s commitment to keeping our Borough clean, safe and green. We would now like the area to stay this way for its residents and the Council will not hesitate to take action against anybody who attempts to fly tip waste or carry out any other environmental crime.”
