Gateshead Council has been found to have the second most dirtiest streets in the North East, according to the trade Union GMB. The claim was based on figures from the Audit Commission, the body that oversees local council spending and performance.
The GMB claim that the worst streets in the region are in North Tyneside, with 29% classed as dirty, ahead of Gateshead on 23.6%. In Newcastle, the Lib Dem run council, at 22.4%, have already taken on additional wardens to tackle litter problems.
The cleanest streets in the North East are in Durham City which the Lib Dems have controlled for 3 years.
