MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That the Chief Executive arrange for increased frequency of the road sweeper/litter picking on Shancastle Avenue as previously requested by the ACM, and to request that the road sweeper cover cul-de-sacs and all corners of the roads in Shancastle as litter builds up in the corners and doesn't get collected by the sweeper.

REPORT:

Shancastle Estate roads, footpaths and open spaces are swept and cleaned by the Council's road sweeping contractor Oxigen Environmental Ltd once every 6 weeks.  Main roads in the area are swept once every two weeks.  Shancastle Estate was last swept on March 20th, it is due to be swept again on May 2nd. 

The issues raised here will be brought to the attention of the road sweeping contractor, to ensure that all roads are included in the road sweeping programme and to ensure that the standard achieved is acceptable throughout.  On completion of a scheduled sweep of the estate all areas should be thoroughly cleaned to an acceptable standard.
