Leaf clearing

Report fallen leaves to us if you think they are:

• becoming a trip and slip hazard to pedestrians
• breaking down and blocking gullies (road drains)

It’s hard to predict precisely when the leaves will fall and impossible to ensure that all streets remain leaf-free at all times. We bring in extra teams with specialist leaf-clearing equipment over the autumn and winter months.

Leaves on private property

We are not responsible for clearing leaves from private property.

Residents can dispose of leaves by:

• using our garden waste collection service
• taken to the Recycling Centre at Kimpton Park Way
• compositing your leaves at home

Please do not sweep leaves from your private property into the road.

How you can help

Some residents and community groups like to lend a hand with the annual leaf-clearing task, and we’re very grateful for their help.
