Street cleansing

The Council is responsible for cleaning most of the roads in the district. We clean the roads to the following timetable:

town centres are cleaned once a day and mechanically swept once a week
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

Street pressure washing and gum removal

The Council employs 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.
