Title
STREET AND PUBLIC REALM CLEANSING AND GROUNDS MAINTENANCE SERVICES AND TREES
Description
Street and public realm cleansing and grounds maintenance are part statutory; they both support the duty of the Highway Authority to maintain a safe highway network. Both services also support the duty of the local authority to maintain a clean environment which is a statutory duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Council has a legal duty of care as a landowner and Highway Authority to manage tree-related risks associated with trees under its ownership and responsibility. Through the maintenance of trees as part of wider grounds maintenance the service helps ensure public safety, protect and enhance the borough's tree canopy, and supports wider biodiversity, environmental and climate change objectives. The grounds maintenance service does also support the Council's work on improving biodiversity on grassed areas such as roadside nature reserves and in managed meadow grass areas.
