LITTERBUGS are being targeted in Ramsbottom town centre.
The crackdown is part of an initiative which ensures local people running businesses in the area manage their rubbish responsibly.
During the initiative, these businesses will be offered free litter pickers to encourage them to keep the area around their shops clean.
The anti-litter campaign will also include an increased level of fixed penalty enforcement. Anyone caught dropping litter can be fined £50 or even prosecuted where fines can be up to £2,500.
If you would like to know more about the free litter pickers contact Environmental services on 0161 253 5566.
