As part of this year's Keep Guildford and Waverley Clean scheme, residents can now suggest areas they think need a bit of extra attention for a special clean-up. Street cleaning teams from Guildford and Waverley Borough councils will be in action this summer to address areas nominated by local people.
Cllr Terence Patrick, Lead Councillor for Healthy Living says: "Last year's scheme was a big success with over 90 spots suggested by residents in Guildford Borough alone. We cleansed all these areas and want to build on that by involving even more local people this year to help improve their surroundings."
Waverley's Portfolio Holder for Environment, John Sandy adds: "This is a real opportunity for residents to get involved and make a difference to their local areas. Let’s build on last year’s success and make a real effort to improve the areas in which we live.”
This year residents can also suggest an area for tree planting or other ideas to help improve the look of their local environment.
What can be nominated?
Anything on or near a road within Guildford or Waverley Borough, for example:
- A litter-strewn residential road
- An uncared-for verge or planter
- An overgrown alley
