In the wake of the baking weather, the paths around the Gorton Reservoir have been left littered with rubbish. Piles of plastic, fast food wrappers, and barbecue equipment have left a scourge on the popular nature spot in Tameside.
The paths around the lower reservoir were the worst hit yesterday (July 19) following the soaring temperatures. One councillor for the area said he was glad to see so many using the open space, but has implored people to take their rubbish home with them.
