The five worst streets in Salford for fly-tipping have been revealed.
Liverpool Road in Eccles received the most reports of fly-tips - 54 - last year, according to a new council report.
Lower Broughton Road came second with 41 reports, followed by Romney Street with 37 in Charlestown.
Rounding up the worst five streets for the most number of reports are Langworthy Road and Winifred Street in Eccles - both with 32 reports.
The council document - which went to today’s community and neighbourhoods scrutiny panel - also showed that the rate of fly-tipping in the city has increased by just under 2 percent since 2018.
That year, there were 5990 recorded fly-tipping incidents.
But it rose to 6104 in 2019. Nevertheless, the picture in Salford appears better than nationally.
Local authorities across England dealt with a rise of 8pc in fly-tipping incidents.
The wide-ranging report also looked at the broader picture on waste in Salford - and included updated figures on bin collections, litter-related fixed penalty notices and recycling rates in the city.
It found that last year, there were 20,490 missed bin collections in the borough - although that number compares to more than 13 million successful bin collections.
“Many will be where residents fail to put them out but report them as missed, road works preventing access, contaminated etc,” the report added.
It also showed that the town hall issued 39 fixed penalty notices for dumping, while nine were issued for fly-tipping.
Some 1408 FPNs were issued for non-parking offences - such as littering, of which 962 paid.
The report also revealed that Salford has one of the lowest rates in Greater Manchester for recycling - at only 45pc. Only Manchester and Oldham have a lower rate.
But the town hall said they are set to hire four ‘behaviour change officers’ - at a cost of £184,700 - in a bid to increase recycling participation and reduce contamination.
