This isnโt just a quick tidy-up. Itโs proper deep cleaning, rapid fly-tipping removal, and a zero-tolerance approach to environmental crime – street by street, alleyway by alleyway, covering the whole of our borough.
๐ช๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ต, ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ต๐๐ฟ๐๐ & ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ฑ have already seen major clean-ups, with teams tackling long-neglected alleyways, roads and hotspots. Just as important, it’s great to hear that council teams have been knocking on doors, listening to residents and working through the real causes of fly-tipping, from poor alleyway design to bin storage and high tenant turnover.
The message from residents has been clear: the clean-ups are welcome, confidence is growing, and people want to help keep their neighbourhoods looking better. Thatโs exactly the culture change we need.
Since the campaign relaunch in November, community involvement has really taken off. Our Labour-led Council deserve huge credit for putting real time, effort and resources into tackling fly-tipping & focusing on the issues that matter most to local people when they open their doors and stand on their doorstep everyday.
And this is just the start: more streets, more wards, and more progress to come as Donโt Trash Oldham continues rolling out across ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐จ๐ง & ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐ญ๐จ๐ง in the weeks and months ahead ๐ช
๐ฉ Fly-tipping reports are continuing to go up and we are encouraging local people to keep on reporting concerns to my team at jim.mamchon.uk@parliament.uk so that we can end this crime for good.
