“Don’t grow up, it’s a trap.” We’ll admit… that one made us smile. But while we’re all for creativity and a bit of personality, unwanted graffiti can have a real impact on how a town centre looks and feels. That’s why Bury BID continues to invest time and resource into tackling graffiti and environmental issues across the town centre - helping to keep our streets cleaner, brighter and more welcoming for everyone. These progress photos show just some of the improvements being made as we work alongside our partners and respond to issues raised by businesses, residents and visitors. Because creating a town centre we can all be proud of isn’t just about the big events and attractions - it’s also about the everyday details that make a difference. And yes… we’ll leave the debate about whether growing up is a trap for another day 😉 #BuryBID #DiscoverBury #CleanerBury #TownCentrePride #MakingADifference

This month, our Town Centre Cleaning Team has been focusing on key hotspot areas around Bury. This area off the back of Tithebarn Street was affected by litter, weeds and graffiti. The team has cleared the area and given it a much-needed clean-up. Here are a few before and afters! A cleaner, more welcoming town centre helps create a better experience for everyone who lives, works and visits Bury. If you know of an area in the town centre that needs attention, please contact our Town Centre Rangers or Nigel Shields at nigel@burybid.co.uk. #BuryBID #DiscoverBury #CleanerBury #SafeandClean
