Every street will be under the microscope
Every street in Blackpool is now being inspected once a month as part of work to ensure the town is kept litter free.
John-Paul Lovie, head of waste at Blackpool Council, told a meeting of the tourism, economy and communities scrutiny committee: “We have developed a monitoring system and can inspect every street in the borough once a month. Then we can schedule the work with the NEAT team .“However one of the problems we do have with street cleaning is people’s cars parked on the street and getting past them.”
Street cleansing was incorporated into the bin collection service for the first time when Enveco was formed as a council-owned company in 2019. The meeting heard potential changes to bin collections are set to include a new requirement to separate food waste as part of government legislation, meaning it could no longer be put into the general waste grey bin.
