A man from Levenshulme has taken it upon himself to address the rubbish thrown in his street and is determined to make the city and his area cleaner attractive.

David Shrew, 58, sets out a few times a month with a pair of gloves, a reliable litter picker and a determined attitude. The part-time Uber driver patrols the streets of Levenshulme and other areas nearby where he collects objects that have been littered on the floor.

I want my kids and my grandkids in the future to be able to live on this planet. I know what I am doing isn't making a dent but can people at least throw their rubbish in the bin?

It takes two seconds and we can't even do that." The father of one has found a mix of objects found on the floor that he has helped throw away, ranging from electronics to bags of meat.
