Road sweeping

Statement

We, the undersigned, petition the council to have road sweepers to immediately follow refuse and recycling collections, in order to tidy up spillled litter.

Details

I think it would save several hours per week for each road sweeper employed as it would be quicker and more organised. Also, collecting litter before it blows about and gets torn is a lot easier and more efficient.
It will mean that rubbish clearance is done in a much more controlled manner, and the contents of road sweeper barrows could be put into the collection lorries.

A large amount of litter is generated each week in each rubbish collection area. This is caused by insecure rubbish containers, animals tearing open bags, or by spillages caused by collection teams.
