An update on the expansion of the City Council’s Streetscene and Park’s Teams

Since 1 December 2022, all of the street cleaning and maintenance of the city parks and open spaces has been carried out by the Salisbury City Council team. The council contract with Idverde ended on 30 November and several of their workers transferred to the in-house team. Since that time, the City Council has worked hard to deliver the high standards local residents have come to expect.

Cllr Annie Riddle, one of the Leaders of the Council said “I would like to thank the community for their patience as we bed in our new Streetscene and Parks Teams. This change over has been challenging due to staff shortages and I am grateful to our team for delivering the services they have been able to despite the gaps in the team. We are now looking actively at filling some of those gaps and look forward to providing our full services in due course.”
