nRESIDENTS took part in a second litter blitz of their estate last week.

Families from the Manchester Road area of Leigh, and local councillors John Lea and Charles Rigby, pulled together for a three-hour clean up of the streets around Bedford High School.

They filled four skips in one and a half hours.

Last year, the Manchester Road Residents' Association organised their first tidy - and residents were amazed to find they cleared the streets of five tonnes of rubbish.

People and Places programme manager Nick Burdekin said: "It was a resounding success. We probably equalled last year's figures."
