The Big Clean

Cleanliness is a priority for us and street care teams are out making the area a better and more attractive environment in which to live, work and invest.

They are sprucing up the district by clearing fly-tipping, cleaning road signs, repairing bins, pulling up weeds and power-washing pavements. Workers also clean graffiti, pick litter and cut back trees which are in the way of signs.

Our Big Clean team can:

• remove weeds, litter and dirt on the highway to leave the area clean and tidy
• power wash pavements to remove moss and bird droppings
• power wash road signs, benches and litter bins
• remove graffiti on public property
• report any damaged SKDC bins to the office so they can be replaced
• remove flytipping 
• get permission to cut back hedges or undergrowth that is obstructing the highway
• cut back tree branches obstructing street signs where safe to do so
• mechanically sweep the roads.

Residents can highlight and problem areas in a form on our website southkesteven.gov.uk so that the team can get along and tackle them.

The team cannot deal with any issues on private land; these should be taken up with the landowner.
