SHOPPERS can do more to keep the town centre tidy and help enhance Northwich’s image, according to one disgruntled resident.

Debbie Trickett spotted this litter gathering next to the Barnardo’s shop near Matalan and Sainsbury’s on Saturday.

“Whilst out in Northwich town centre on Saturday, I was appalled to see the amount of rubbish on the piece of land next to the Barnardo’s shop,” she said. “The volume of rubbish was such that it prompted me to take a photo.

“I know we have seen gale force winds recently which have contributed to the problem, but I think everyone will agree the mess is terrible and so disheartening, especially when a real effort is being made elsewhere to improve Northwich's image with building works and developments.”
