A major clean up operation is in the offing
Salford Quays is at the forefront of Greater Manchester's transformation, but it has a serious litter problem.
The issue will be brought up at a Salford council meeting on March 20 by Lib Dem councillor Paul Heilbron, who said there's not enough being done to sort the problem out.Mr Heilbron told the MEN that the amount of litter was even worse before the launch of the Clean Up the Quays campaign in 2020 - a scheme which sees residents take part in regular litter picking events in the area.
"There's different spots where the rubbish piles up in the corners and it's horrendous. There's a lot of different developers who own different parts of the Quays. There's no joined up approach, it's one of the most beautiful spots of nature in Greater Manchester and all I'm asking for is common sense, I'm trying to get private developers to do their bit."
The Quays is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods to live in Greater Manchester, with transport connections to both Salford and Manchester city centres and a number of businesses offering work opportunities. It's an area that has seen huge changes in recent years, and been hailed as one of the UK's most successful regeneration projects.
