Find out about how we deal with autumn leaf clearance.
For 6 weeks in autumn, we increase the size of our cleaning team to clear leaves from roads and pavements.
We have a schedule showing which streets we’ll clear and when. This will be published in September 2024.
Only the streets that have a significant amount of trees are on the schedule. We’ll sweep roads that are not included on the schedule every 5 weeks.
During autumn, we cannot keep streets completely free of leaves. A road that is cleared of leaves in the morning can be entirely covered in leaves again within hours.
