Liverpool has been branded a 'festival of litter' amid concerns at the scale of waste and dumping in the city.
A city councillor will bring a motion to next week's full meeting of the council, calling for urgent action to tackle litter and waste issues he says are blighting Liverpool. Lib Dem Councillor Richard Clein also said there are major issues with weeds on routes into the city and suburbs, particularly in district centres.
The motion, which will be debated and discussed at the town hall meeting next Wednesday, notes the hard work being done by the council's Liverpool Streetscene Services Limited team. He also praised the work of volunteers across the city who organise litter picks to try and keep on top of the growing problem.
