Litter and debris

If a road, cycle lane or pavement needs sweeping

If there is a large amount of litter or debris. We will clear this as soon as resources allow. If there is a small amount of litter, please clear it up if you can.

We cannot always clear leaves but will prioritise any which are putting people at risk. If the leaves are causing unsafe conditions outside a school or old people’s home, you should report it to us and let a member of their staff know as well.
