Despite organising a new mechanical street sweeping machine we’ve not yet cracked East Dulwich streets being kept pristine.

One of the problems is that frequency of street cleaning – one a month broom sweeping, 3 times a week litter picking of every street. PLUS a couple of times a month the mechanical street sweeping machine.

BUT the mechanical sweeping machine can only do flat surfaces. So it doesn’t get into the gutter to suck up leaves and litter and detritus.

So Cllr Rosie Shimell and I have asked officers whether if we organised an additional mechanical street cleaning THAT comes with a vacuum nozzle to suck stuff up from the gutters. If this machine can do the job then potentially we could return to daily litter picking/sweeping using these machines. Fingers crossed we can crack this problem.

How do you think we could get East Dulwich streets pristine?
