Street cleaning standards

Our Customer Charter

Keeping our district clean and tidy is a major task which our team of street cleaning operatives carry out. Their work includes:

  • litter picking
  • mechanical street sweeping
  • emptying of dog poo and litter bins
  • removal of graffiti, fly-tips and fly-posting

We have committed to providing the best possible service to all our customers. Our Customer Charter

  • sets out the standards of service you can expect from us in relation to street cleansing
  • will help you tell us if we are performing well or if we need to improve
