Special street cleansing in Waltham Cross

cleansing operationThe Council is to undertake a special cleanse of York Road and King Edward Road, Waltham Cross on Saturday 31 May 2008 between 9am and 12noon.  Maintaining the cleanliness of streets is difficult where parked cars impede access to the edge of roads and in some instances footpaths. 

 

This special cleanse follows consultation with the Four Swannes Residents Association after contractors were unable to carry out the cleansing operation scheduled for 16 April as a result of a number of parked cars, which were blocking the edge of roads.

 

The clean-up has been arranged for a Saturday so that residents will be at home to move their cars and to take advantage of the absence of cars parked along the roads by commuters during the week.  This will allow mechanical sweeping of the footpaths and channels.  Three other roads; Cross Road, Kings Road and Queens Road will also be cleansed.  They were put forward by the chair of the Four Swannes Residents Association as roads which also suffer from commuter parking, and which were likely to present the Council with the same problems as those experienced on 16 April at York Road and King Edward Road.

 

The street cleansing crews will commence work in the area from 9am through to around 12noon, starting in York Road and moving on to King Edward Road, Queens Road, Cross Road before finishing in Kings Road.  Residents have been asked to assist by removing their cars before 9am on Saturday 31 May 2008 to enable the Council’s workmen to clean the channels and footpaths. 

 

The Council has written to residents of York Road and King Edward Road.  Letters have also been delivered to residents of Cross Road, Kings Road and Queens Road to advise them of the plan for 31 May. 

 

Residents who think that their roads would benefit from this street cleansing scheme, or who require further information can contact the Council on 01992 785577.
