A further 22 areas which will benefit from Lancaster City Council’s popular ‘Street Pride’ scheme have been named.
A further 22 areas which will benefit from Lancaster City Council’s popular ‘Street Pride’ scheme have been named.
Launched last year, Street Pride is a series of deep cleans in which a hit squad of council workers moves into chosen areas to give them a thorough clean.
During the day a range of services are carried out including street cleansing, grounds maintenance, gully emptying and minor street repairs.
Coun Jon Barry, cabinet member with responsibility for City Council (Direct) Services, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for the selected streets to have a thorough spring clean. And once this is done, we very much hope that they will stay clean for a long time!”
The areas taking part in Street Pride have been chosen following nominations from members of the public through their elected councillors.
An information pack detailing the scheme will be delivered to households along each of the streets in the week prior to the clean.
They will include a Street Pride charter which residents will be asked to sign up to.
The charter is a voluntary agreement between the council and residents to maintain the appearance of the streets once the city council has finished the deep clean. The aim is to encourage residents to take pride in where they live.
As an added incentive households included in the Street Pride scheme are being offered the opportunity to have their unwanted bulky household items collected by the Bulky Matters service at half price, for bookings made in the week of the clean up.
