Due to maintenance, the following systems will be unavailable from 11.45am on Tuesday 24 December until 8.00am on Thursday 2 January: our online Council Tax, business rates and housing benefit services, and our welfare assistance form. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
How we deal with fallen leaves.
We only collect leaves from our road network using sweepers.
There are also a low number of footpaths where leaves collect and get heavily covered, these are also removed by the sweepers.
We only clear leaves by hand if the sweeper is unable to get to them.
On most occasions, leaves are left to disperse and recycle naturally.
