Eric Hyde tackles Little Lever's litter problem

Little Lever has become LITTER Lever – and Darcy Lever fares little better.

Eric Hyde has been getting his hands dirty with some of our area’s worst grot spots.

He has reported dozens of litter problems and says the problem needs tackling soon.

Eric said: “Residents are telling me there are particularly fed up with cans and bottles being found on grass verges and some roads.”

Eric has asked Bolton Council’s Environmental Services department to clean up the area.

If you know of a litter hotspot let Eric know.

New street lighting has finally been installed on School Street (Little Lever and Darcy Lever ward).

Residents may remember that the Liberal Democrat team told residents the good news quite some time ago through our Focus newsletter, pictured right.

Eric Hyde’s Lib Dem team is now pleased to see that the street lighting has been completed after an initial delay by the council.

Eric said: “This is fantastic news for residents of School Street.”

Donal O’Hanlon, our Parliamentary Candidate for the area, added: “I am sure it will allow residents to feel just that little bit safer in the darker evenings.”
