Street cleaning FAQs

Do you clean all roads, streets and lanes?

We only clean public roads including all pavements and carriageways. We do not clean private roads or lanes.

Why has my road not been swept recently?

We have to prioritise how often we sweep all roads. Busier areas usually have more litter and therefore receive more attention. If you report a problem, we will inspect it, usually on the same day, and decide what we need to do to sort it out.

How do I report fly-tipping?

Please call 01934 888 802 and give us all the details.We like to hear of problems straight away so we can respond.

Can a new litter bin be installed?

We need to maintain our stock of litter bins so if one is damaged please let us know. We will consider requests for litter bins at new sites and let you know what we have decided.

How often are litter bins emptied?

Most litterbins are emptied at least once a week with some emptied much more often. Emptying bins near houses is scheduled according to how much the bin is used. Sometimes a litter bin fills unusually quickly. We will respond promptly to reports of overflowing litter bins.

Can you do anything about grease or moss on footways?

We do tackle street washing and moss removal where required. Tell us what and where the problem is and we will inspect it and sort it out.

I’ve found a syringe - what should I do?

Don’t touch it, don’t hide it and please inform the owner of the building or land as soon as possible. Call us for further advice on 01934 888 802.

I would like to report a problem - what details do you need?

We need to know your name, address, telephone number, email, the name of the street and exactly where in the street the problem is, what the problem is and if it is presenting an immediate hazard or danger and if you witnessed any fly-tipping.
