Grounds maintenance and litter picking – spring flowers are blooming and crews have started grass cutting, which is a little earlier than usual due to the mild winter.

Also a date for your diary – if you would like to meet our new grounds and street cleansing contractor idverde UK and find out how they will do things differently when they start work in the borough in April, then come along to see them outside the library at Southwater One on Wednesday 20 March, 10am-4pm. As always, you can report a grounds maintenance issue here. Anyone wanting to report an issue with littering in their area can do so here.

Environmental enforcement – Our officers investigate all reports of fly-tips. In a recent case following a report from a member of the public, officers sifted through the dumped evidence and identified the culprit who was issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice. The person responsible also cleaned up the area! If you see a fly-tip, please report it to us here. 

Street Champions – our street champions are joining in various clean ups being organised as part of the annual Keep Britain Tidy Great British Spring Clean. More on what’s happening locally for the Great British Spring Clean here.  Details of all volunteering opportunities here
