Later this year the council will be launching a new series of 'deep cleans' under the banner 'Street Pride'.
Under the scheme special hit squads will move in to streets across the district to give them a thorough clean. Services provided will include street cleaning, gully emptying, minor highway repairs, weeding and tree pruning.
A key aim of the project is to involve communities in nominating streets that could benefit from a deep clean and to help look after their area once the council has completed its work. To this end residents are asked to contact their ward councillor(s) with suggestions of streets they feel could benefit.
These may be known 'grot- spots', or places that could do with a general tidy up.
Residents on successful streets will also be asked to sign up to a Street Pride charter, to raise awareness of the responsibilities of both residents and the council in maintaining the district.
Coun Jon Barry, cabinet member with responsibility for City Council (Direct) Services, said: "We have been carrying out the deep cleans for a while now. Now we want to take it one step further and encourage people to have real pride in their local environment."
To nominate a street simply contact your ward councillor. A list is available on the website www.lancaster.gov.uk.
