A bin collection service provider has been fined nearly £1 million by Trafford Council.
Amey, the firm paid by the town hall to keep the streets clean and bins emptied across the borough, is responsible for delivering services for the next 23 years, costing £12m a year.
The deal was made in 2015 and the council has since received complaints about dirty streets, filthy parks and overflowing bins often left unemptied.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed the firm has been hit with hefty penalties.
Amey say they have “identified areas of service that need to improve” and are working with the council.
