Mechanical Path & Road Sweeping. Sweeping is largely undertaken by pre-determined routes (blocks) which are scheduled to be completed on a cycle set on a weekly, fortnightly, 3 weekly, 6 weekly or 12 weekly basis. Each block represents approximately 20km of road/paths (i.e. 10km x 2 sides of the road) and is now split into 2 halves – and sweeping alternates between the two halves each time the block is scheduled to be cleaned. Those streets/roads that have been identified as requiring a sweep/clean at every visit are indicated on the route maps. The service will work with Elected Members to continually review routes/blocks and seek agreement for changes to street cleansing approaches or frequencies where appropriate. Work cycles are based on an 8-day “week”. This enables an extra day of “spare” capacity to be programmed in, which allows the service to recover days lost for planned and unplanned leave. Any remaining capacity will be used to respond to local problems, support community clean ups, tackle seasonal issues and take part in joint-operations with partners.
