Cllr Stephen Adshead, executive member for highways, environmental and traded Services at Trafford Council, commented: “Love Parks Week is the perfect time to celebrate our local green spaces, and hopefully we will have some sunny weather so we can all get out and enjoy our parks in Trafford. Our teams work really hard alongside our Friends of Parks groups to maintain our parks and keep them looking good all year round.
“If you can spare a little time, please do come out and get involved with our litter-picking events this Love Parks Week.”
