Street Scene is responsible for the cleaning of streets, pavements and pedestrian areas. Cleaning of areas is broken down into sections and takes place at a frequency dependent on need. The teams use a combination of manual and mechanical sweeping methods. In addition, inspections are undertaken to address any ‘hot-spots’ or identify areas which require particular attention.

You can read our maintenance standards 

We also maintain all council-owned grassed areas, shrub beds, trees and hedges planting more than 150,000 flowers annually. This year we have removed over 700 tonnes of cuttings through our extensive shrub bed maintenance programme.

The Green Team maintains 22 football pitches and 24 play areas, including the themed 'Castle Grounds' play area and play areas at Wigginton Park and Amington Recreation Ground.

Cyclical routes are in place for the maintenance of council maintained grass, dependent upon need, for grass verges, parks, open spaces and communal gardens. The grass cutting usually commences from the end of March until October depending on the weather conditions. Further information on grass cutting.
