A teenager from Toxteth has been given the chance to transform a fly-tipping hotspot that has been the 'scourge' of his community for years now.
Khan Odita, 14, has now signed a lease for a space on Mulgrave Street, Toxteth that has long been victim to fly-tippers and is considered the "scourge" of his close knit community. Khan will be converting the space into a community garden that will not only improve the sight of the street with greenery, but will also provide a centre for various community activities.
Khan is the founder of Mulgrave Street Action Group (MSAG), a community interest company that he set up after realising the extent of the fly-tipping problem in his area while making a film. Khan's garden project was MSAG's first but not only project and the teenager told the ECHO that he has now appointed a board of trustees from his community to help guide the company's future ambitions.
