I AM amazed at the state of the streets in Bolton and the lack of cleaning that takes place.

I realise that there is austerity cuts, but what is happening is going to cause vermin and health issues.

Around the streets of Great Lever, especially around Bishop Bridgeman school, there is rubbish everywhere and no attempt to clean it up.

I have recently noticed rats around by the school and young children attend this school. The foliage is covered with old bags of rubbish and needs cutting and clearing out but these issues do not seem to be important or a priority.
