MAYORESS Evelyne Smith loves Shakerley.

And the Hindsford councillor is encouraging other Shakophiles to join her in a Spring clean-up.

Evelyne (pictured) was among the locals who cleared litter and household waste in a Council-backed campaign to make that part of Tyldesley tidier.

Tyldesley Area Housing Office, the People and Places Community Programme and Shakerley Tenants and Residents are behind the campaign.

Householders put large items of rubbish on the pavements outside their homes for collection by a special bin lorry service.
