CULCHETH and Glazebury Parish Council has stepped up the fight against litter in a bid to keep the two villages clean and safe places for local residents.
The council employs two part-time workers to supplement the service provided by the borough council with the main aim of removing litter from popular recreational areas, footpaths and bus shelters.
Community maintenance officer Paul Hill works weekday mornings collecting from on and around the village green.
But he can also be seen in the Newchurch Ward on Mondays, Mee Brow on Tuesdays, in Glazebury on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and in the Culcheth Ward on Fridays.
Litter warden Bob Redford works weekends, collecting from the village green and surrounding areas, and providing back-up cover when Paul is on holiday.
Parish council chairman Coun Helena Campbell said: “We feel it is very important to provide this service to ensure residents have an attractive and safe environment to live in, and we are fortunate to have two dedicated staff who share that view.”
The parish council has also recently provided seven new litter bins for the area and hopes the public will show its support by using them.
