QUESTION NO.20

QUESTION: Councillor S. Moynihan

To ask the Chief Executive as to what progress has been made in procuring and rolling out equipment to clear debris and growth from segregated cycle lanes in the County and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

The Council's Road Sweeping Programme which is provided under contract by Oxigen Environmental Ltd focuses on the high priority areas of town and village centres, main roads and housing estates with sweeping provided at a frequency of monthly for urban centres and main roads and quarterly for housing estates.

In addition to this segregated cycle tracks are now being swept monthly using a 'microsweeper' under the contract with Oxigen. The Active Travel team work closely with the EWCC Cleansing team to inform them of new segregated cycle tracks and infrastructure which is then added to the contractors sweeping programme.
