There has been outrage after thousands of plastic single use cups were left strewn all over Gay Village following another busy night of Pride celebrations. The event, which has lasted four days over the bank holiday weekend, has seen crowds of people flock to the city to celebrate in style.
However, pictures taken from the early hours of Monday morning (August 29) show the scenes after much of the crowds had made their way back home. Thousands of plastic cups among other litter were left dumped on the floor, on Bloom Street, with Manchester councillors now calling on festival-goers to take their rubbish home as it wraps up for its final night.
Manchester Pride have also said that each morning, litter pickers among road sweepers are down at the site cleaning up from the night before. The recent pictures show the state of the area at 4am, before the major clean up operation begins.
