Bins reported ‘overflowing with rubbish’ at Crompton Lodge

The rubbish has been reported at Crompton Lodges, with bins stuffed and bags left on the ground towards the end of June.

This has sparked concerns from visitors about cleanliness and about possibly attracting animals.

One visitor, who contacted The Bolton News, said: “Why can’t they take their rubbish home with them when the bins are full instead of leaving it for the animals to get into?”

Over recent weeks, repeated warnings have gone out asking members of the public to treat the countryside around Moses Gate Country Park with respect.

Bolton Council cabinet member for the environment and regulatory services, Councillor Rob Morrisey, said the council had various policies in place but that the public needed to play their part too.

Councillor Morrisey said: “The council works hard to keep our public spaces clean through regular inspections, emptying of bins and responding to reports of littering and illegally deposited waste.

“However, we also rely on residents and visitors to play their part by disposing of waste responsibly, taking rubbish home where necessary, and helping us to keep local neighbourhoods and green spaces clean and welcoming for everyone.”
