How clean should our streets be?

by Sam, Ruth and Chris on 8 October, 2017

Litter opposite Stayton Road

Sutton aims to keep all its streets predominantly free from litter except for some small items.

No roads can be litter free at all times.  The standard to which our streets are kept is grade B as defined on page 16 in the Defra Code of Practice for litter.

The grade B standard we aim for is in this picture

The grade B standard

The frequency with which roads are swept will depend on the extent of littering, but will be frequent enough to meet this aim.

If your road does not meet this standard then ask for a street clean using the Council’s Report It facility.
