South Kesteven’s far-reaching street cleaning initiative is back under way after COVID-19 restrictions, concentrating on keeping our villages stay a step ahead on being clean and tidy and forming part of SKDC’s commitment to a higher street standard.

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.

The Big Clean comprises two permanent roving teams.

Work includes:

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

Residents can still 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.

The Big Clean – the bigger picture

Why not take a look at what residents have taken the time to report to us so far. If you see something in your neighbourhood you wish to tell us about, simply use the reporting tool to let us know.

Remember to follow #SKBigClean on social media as the project develops.
