A former school teacher who later became known for his mission to remove rubbish from his local village in Trafford has died at the age of 84.
Keith Neal would walk an average of 750 miles a year picking up litter from near his home in Hale and in south Manchester in an effort to tidy the streets. He died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday (April 8).
Keith, who taught biology at Manchester Grammar School from 1976 until 1999, became a local pin-up star as part of his ‘Keith Says’ advertising campaign which encouraged people to throw their rubbish away properly.
