Over 30 young people from Manchester Sports Academy, local councillors and staff from Inspired Sisters were joined by Manchester's Executive Member for the Environment Councillor Nigel Murphy on Saturday for a Litter pick around Hamilton Road.
Whilst the local Councillors and Football team cleared the streets of litter Inspired Sisters went door to door to raise awareness of next weeks Longsight Neighbourhood Festival.
Councillors involved were Abid Chohan, Luthfur Rahman, Suzanne Richards, Rabnawaz Akbar, Rosa Battle and Nigel Murphy.
Local Labour Councillor Suzanne Richards said: "One of the main concerns reported to us by local residents in Longsight is litter and fly tipping. Saturday's litter pick was about showing that we must all take responsibility for our local area and work together to make longsight a cleaner and greener place to live. In just a couple of hours we removed over 10 black bags worth of rubbish from streets."
If you would like to help organise a litter pick in your local area then please get in touch with either Suzanne, Luthfur or Abid.
