Leighton Park

Progress is being made on Leighton park field were some of the area has been fenced off and trees planted. As you can see in the photo it hasn't stopped the rubbish being thrown all over the field. The wardens are supposed to be checking the area to stop dumping. The council are hoping to drop the £35 charge for collecting rubbish from homes when the new council comes into effect in April. This I believe is one of the main causes of people being forced to dump rubbish as they cant afford the charge



Further around Leighton Park field a new fence has gone in in Minshull New Road making all that area fenced off and safer for children. It looks as if the council have been bulk buying fences with new one here, the Cemetery and the Park
