Eileen Brennan said: "The whole town and surrounding areas are an absolute disgrace, in over 70 years of living in Barrow I have never seen it so bad."
Jordan Harris said: "Get more bins on the high street, clean it up and more stuff for young people to do."
Junction36 said: "Should that not just be done anyway?"
Nicola Ann said: "The whole of Dalton Road needs cleaning up."
Matt Blackburn from Grimefighters who cleaned the streets said: "Just the beginning, we are going to be cleaning many areas of the town centre."
Imhertoirritateyou said: "It might be clean in the centre but behind the shops it's definitely not clean and as for daily I rarely see anyone cleaning up I do see them emptying bins watering plants regularly."
