Street cleaning and litter

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

If you notice a location that requires attention then let us know by providing as much information as possible using the forms below. Examples of street cleaning requiring attention could be from a build-up of litter or general debris.  

Streets in the district are allocated a “zone” based on how busy they are and they are cleansed according to which zone they are in.
