Street cleansing
Council owned and maintained public highways across the borough
are cleaned on a regular schedule, normally on the same day each
week.
Street cleansing:
- occurs weekly on public roads and footpaths
- occurs daily (from 6am-8pm) on heavy pedestrian usage areas (eg town centres)
- can be affected/suspended in extreme weather conditions such as flooding/snowfall when emergency provisions take effect
- includes the removal of all flytips (0-3 cubic metres in size) on the scheduled cleansing day
Street cleansing problems should be reported to the council. You will need to provide the following information:
-
street name and door number (where possible)
-
type of complaint (eg weeds, litter, flytipping)
-
possible offender details if related to fly tipping/littering (vehicle regulations etc)
-
location (eg public or private property)
