Street cleaning

We are responsible for keeping our streets, parks and open spaces clean and safe for residents.

If you notice a location that needs attention then let us know by reporting it to us and providing as much information as possible.

Streets in the district are allocated a 'zone' based on how busy they are and the frequency of cleaning relates to which zone they are in.

If a report is received of an area falling below the required standard between scheduled cleaning visits, a further visit will be made.

High speed road cleansing

To clean roads above 40mph, including the A20 and A2, we are required to apply for a lane closure permit from the relevant highway authority and can only carry out cleaning on allocated dates.

Our contactors are scheduled to cleanse high speed roads twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn.
