Keeping the streets clean

At our street surgeries in Andover Place and Lanark Road last month (see here), a number of residents commented that the cleanliness on their streets weren't quite up to the very high standard which they have come to expect from Westminster. We were very concerned to hear this and went straight back to the Council's Street Cleaning team to discuss.

We are very happy that, in response to our lobbying, Westminster has changed the schedules for street cleaning in these streets going. Cleaning times have been brought forward in both Andover and Lanark to mornings (from early afternoons) to pick up any problems earlier in the day. Also, the frequency of street sweeping in Lanark Road (between Elgin and Carlton Vale) has also been upped from 6 days a week to 7, to reflect the need for additional attention on a Sunday.

We're very pleased that the Council has listened to local residents and is willing to see sense and be flexible.

If you have any issues or concerns that we might be able to help with, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We'd be very happy to help.
