Clean up litter on Manchester’s streets and keep a regular litter pick routine.
There has been a known problem of litter in Manchester for a number of years, with some research, the problem seems to have become worse due to insufficient funding from the government. After a recent visit, I was shocked by the amount of litter built up in many areas, more so on the outskirts.
Here some locals words on living in Manchester:

It’s not difficult to find information online about the litter and potential health problems relating to it. Evidence of the problem is very clear walking the streets of Manchester.
