Street Cleaning
What We Do
We have a responsibility to keep all roads and footpaths (other than private roads and footpaths) within the District clear from litter and refuse.
To keep the area clean we provide litter and dog fouling bins in public open spaces and on many of the streets across the District. Our contractor, B G Appleton (Contracts), empty many of these bins and also sweep and litter pick all of the roads and footpaths (other than private roads and footpaths) in the District.
Maldon District's performance
The District's roads and footpaths are monitored regularly by both our contractor and by Council officers to ensure that standards remain high. Council officers also undertake regular scoring of the District under National Indicator 195 and our results for 2008-2009 have shown that the District continues to be one of the cleanest in the country.
Frequency
So that we make the best use of council tax payers' money, our street cleansing contractors undertake cleaning where necessary. To ensure that the high standards are maintained, our contractor and Council Officers undertake routine monitoring arranging for additional cleaning where required.
