Westside BID goes green collecting a dozen bags of rubbish with local residents

One of Westside BID’s missions is to make the area cleaner and greener.

And that’s exactly what happened during a litter pick with local residents last week.

Gerald Manton, chair of Westside BID, led the event on Wednesday 14 June which resulted in the clearance of more than a dozen full bags of rubbish from paths alongside the canal.

Mr Manton explained that the BID was determined to make the area even more pleasant, both for visitors and people who live in the area.

He said: “It was great to be out and about supporting our residents in ensuring the area looks vibrant and great. Here at the BID, we are keen to make this a regular event with our members, so we look forward to the next one.”
