Ashton Town Centre Litter Campaign

A very high profile litter campaign is being planned for Ashton Town Centre at the beginning of December. This campaign will be welcomed by the many residents who complain to me that the town centre needs a good clean up.

Below are the details of the campaign which will focus on Gerrard Street, Wigan Road, Garswood Road and Market area

The PACT team will liaise with the cleansing department identify issues and complaints that they have received for inclusion

The Campaign will focus around key dates - Tuesday 1st December and Sat 5th December when there will be a high visibility presence in the guise of Banana Skin man and enforcement patrols.

There will be advice and help on the Campaign Market Stall from 11am - 3pm.

In the week prior to the Campaign high profile fixed penalty notices will be erected on lamp posts in Town Centre i.e. on Friday 27th Nov.

Wigan Council will develop an educational campaign strategy for schools which Banana Skin Man will support where possible.

I wish the PACT team every success with this campaign.
