Our cleansing force responds to reports of fly tipping, graffiti and fly posting. We provide, empty and repair litter bins.
What can you expect of our service?
- Our cleansing operations will respond promptly to complaints of litter or fly tipping on the highway.
- We will wash and disinfect certain town centre areas as required.
- Most larger roads are subject to the seasonal treatment of weeds and collection of leaves.
- We arrange for the emptying of gullies on a cyclical basis, dependent upon location, and the subsequent danger to road users of flooding should the gully become blocked.
- We arrange for the removal of dead animals from the public highway.
We will inspect your street regularly and sweep or pick up litter as necessary at the following frequencies:
- Busy town centre streets: 1 to 4 times per day
- Quieter town centre streets: 1 or 2 times per week
- Residential streets: between weekly and every 6 weeks
- Arterial roads: fortnightly
How you can help us?
- Please put your litter into the bins provided.
- The maximum fine for causing litter is £2,500.
- Please clear up after your dog. 'Poop scoops' and plastic bags can be purchased from pet shops. The maximum penalty for dog fouling is £1,000.
- Your refuse and recyclables should be put into suitable containers to avoid litter.
Contact us if any part of the public highway shows large accumulations of litter.
