Wilmslow Town Council is organising another spring clean next month and would like our readers help in identifying the worst areas in the town.
The clean up operation will take place during the last week of April when many businesses and volunteers will come together to smarten up the towns streets, gardens and hedge rows.
Matthew Jackson, Clerk of Wilmslow Town Council, said "We would like help in identifying the town's grot spots.
"We have a number of volunteer groups who have come forward and will concentrate on specific areas but we also have other groups and individuals who don't have specific projects.
"So if readers can help by identifying trouble spots we will then prioritise them, work out what is feasible with the team we've got and find out what sort of work is required in each area."
The spring clean will take place during the week commencing 29th April.
Please share your opinion regarding Wilmslow's 'grot spots' via the comment box below or contact Matthew Jackson, Town Clerk, on 01625 402907.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Alderley road from sainsburys heading south to the roundabout. Knutsford road.
Holly road south. Holly road north is done almost daily :) by me. Perhaps wilmslow high school children can help .
The pathway which starts at the bottom of holly road north by school roundabout and runs between the school and the railway line leading to the leisure centre.
Not sure whether the entrance / exit to motorway M56 counts as wilmslow.
If they were forced to do spend an afternoon picking up litter,perhaps they would think twice next time they throw it. The Railway bridge over the By pass is disgusting. Covered in foul language graffiti and rubbish . Surely the council should appeal to British Rail????
East Cheshire needs to take ownership of this and know clearly that they are failing. Question remains how many other things they are failing at and the person in charge or team has to be sacked as he or she can't do the job. It's not rocket science!! This not about money, it's simple management.
Learn from Stockport council, they can do it.
May I suggest that wilmslow high school could employ someone to patrol at least 500 yards outside the school from all exits, have signs /fines in place and cameras could help .
The alternative is we all join up with Stockport. Having lived in Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme for many years, and many years in Wilmslow. The difference is outstanding. Clean streets, leaves cleared, lovely paving and street furniture, great floral displays, with lovely hanging baskets. In Wilmslow you can report any ongoing problems in the town to Mathew,or Helen, are Parish Council staff. They are in the parish hall at the Carrs car park.
This once a year clean-up by volunteers is now a joke on us. Can someone in the town tell us who is paid, how much, and what sort of cleaning schedule is contracted out.
