As autumn continues, falling leaves can quickly build up on paths and roads, particularly in wet and windy weather.
The road sweepers in the Environmental Services Team are working across the town to help keep roads and pavements clear of fallen leaves and other debris. They play an important role in keeping our streets clean and helping to prevent leaves from building up.
With leaves continuing to fall, if you spot a build-up of leaves, please let us know by submitting a report on Report it, so the team can look into it - bit.ly/ReportIt_
