Street sweeping

All roads and streets within West Wiltshire are swept on a regular basis. The Code of Practice for Litter & Refuse published by DEFRA in April 2006, provides guidelines on the standards of cleansing linked to the level of usage within an area. The code also provides guidelines on response times should an area fall below the required standard. Street sweeping schedules within West Wiltshire fulfil all requirements under the Code of Practice for Litter & Refuse.

Details on the Code of Practice for Litter & Refuse can be found on the DEFRA website below,

Town centre roads within the five towns of Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge, Melksham, Westbury and Warminster are swept on a daily basis, if required.

Access roads into these towns are swept on a weekly basis.

Other residential roads are swept on a regular cycle of around eight weeks.

Rural roads and villages are swept on a regular schedule. We undertake weekly inspections across all road types to ensure any areas that require attention are identified and action taken.

Other than the main streets and access roads, which are regularly swept, you may report the unkempt state of a street to Customerl Services at West Wiltshire District Council. Telephone 01225 776655 between 8.30am - 5.30pm (Monday - Thursday) and 8.30am - 5pm (Friday) or email us at customerservices@westwiltshire.gov.uk
