Are there plans to increase the frequency of road sweeping to remove slippery leaf litter, as this poses a serious hazard to cyclists and pedestrians?
All Streetspace schemes implemented across the borough are maintained under our PFI contract. This includes cleansing and sweeping of any litter and leaves. The leaf clearance programme is currently underway dealing with the most problematic areas of leaf fall.
Extra resources are deployed to help keep the streets clear of leaves between October and January in addition to the fortnightly cleanse where operatives will remove leaves as part of their day-to-day street cleansing activities.
