By Councillor Webber - Seasonal Maintenance - Spaces for People

“Council:

Notes that autumn and winter bring seasonal challenges in maintaining our roads and pavements with leaves collecting in road gutters and pavements, making surfaces slippy for all and can block and obstruct gullies with other consequences, for example localised flooding. 

Notes that as we plan for winter the role of our gritters gaining access to keep roads clear is key to ensuring the city stays connected across all the communities.

Requests a report for next Transport and Environment Committee, on the impact of the active and planned Spaces for People schemes on the ability to carry out winter maintenance and preparedness including but not limited to street sweeping, gully cleaning and road and footpath maintenance.  That will also include any operational adaptations needed and their financial impact to the directorate.”
