Reporting

We visit every street every other week for litter-picking and sweep every road regularly, parked vehicles permitting. The Town Centre and Old Town High Street are cleaned hourly during the working day and neighbourhood shopping areas are cleaned up to twice daily.

If the visual appearance of an area should deteriorate to an unacceptable level between cleans however, it will be cleaned up.

You can report an issue with street cleanliness online.

Cleaning frequency

Our roads are mechanically swept on a continuous cycle, moving counter-clocking around the town, starting in St Nicholas and finishing in Martins Wood. We complete additional sweeping of the main dual-carriageways beyond the main cyclical programme and also undertake reactive works.

We also offer a competitively priced mechanical sweeping service to local businesses and developers for one-off or regular sweeps of areas such as roads, car parks and building sites.
