Streets
Strategy
We know it’s very important to make sure that the city and its beautiful parks and open spaces look great all year round. With our large team of groundsmen, we work hard to maintain high quality public spaces in the city and invest over £1.25 million per year. Our businesses, local organisations, communities and individuals all have a part to play and it is only by working together that we will achieve the changes and improvements that everyone wants to see.
We have a Clean Streets Strategy which you can view here:
