Street Cleaning and Grounds
Maintenance
One of Street Scene's jobs is to clear litter and refuse from
the public places the council are responsible for, like streets,
parks, playgrounds and pedestrianised areas.
We recognise how strongly local people feel about street cleaning -
and that where you live is clean and tidy. As a result, we are
improving this service all the time. Some of the services we carry
out include:
· Litter picking
· Scheduled road and footpath sweeping
· Grass cutting and flower bed maintenance
· Weed removal on highways and footpaths
· Removing fly tipping
· Removing animal remains in certain circumstances
· Graffiti removal in certain areas
· Bonfire clearances
· Clearing dog fouling
You can report problems online use the
Refuse and Recycling Enquiry form. Or for more
information about street cleaning, or to report any problems,
please call 01695 577177 or email customer.services@westlancsdc.gov.uk.
Grounds maintenance
The Grounds Maintenance team is responsible for ensuring the
maintenance of the landscaped areas within the district, which
includes flowerbeds, shrub bed areas, hanging baskets and town
parks. This section also carries out line marking and general
maintenance of the football pitches on the public recreational
areas.
Due to the possible dangerous condition of some trees on public
land within the district - including large broken branches or rot -
a tree maintenance programme is carried out where suspected trees
will be assessed and the appropriate necessary action taken.
