• town centre car parks are cleaned 3 times a week
• outer town areas are cleaned once a week and mechanically swept once a month
• large villages are cleaned on a rotation basis
• small villages are cleaned on request

In this section you can also find out about:

• Fly tipping
• Fly posting
• Graffiti
• Litter
• Vandalism
• Dog hygiene bins
• Reporting dead animals in the road

Street pressure washing and gum removal

We employ a specialised contractor to clean up chewing gum and other hard to remove litter from the streets twice a year.  The contractor pressure washes and scrapes off each individual piece of chewing gum from pavements in the towns.  The pavements are then mechanically scrubbed with a low-pressure washer.

You can report problems with street cleaning, flytipping, litter on the road or dead animals, using our online form below:
