Emma Gilbert to look into why Canterbury and Bromley Road have not been thoroughly swept. Chloe to provide an update from Melissa on progress.

Chloe Mclaughlin

This relates to dissatisfaction from residents in relation to the mechanical sweeper. Operations manager for the area has confirmed that these roads are swept as when required. When this question was raised it hadn’t been thoroughly done as the mechanical sweeper was out of action for a period of time. It is now working.
