Say hello to Wirral's latest street cleaning teams
Rock Ferry residents will notice some more high-profile street cleaning going on in their area in the coming weeks.
That’s because Wirral Council and their waste contractor, Biffa, are investing in staff and equipment to put more manual cleansing of pavements in place in the area, following on from similar deployment of operatives - pushing their distinctive barrow along the streets - to Woodchurch, Beechwood and parts of north Birkenhead.
Litter is an issue which all councillors receive a lot of feedback on from residents. While it is down to people themselves to take responsibility for binning their waste appropriately, some litter is inevitable and it is the council’s job to ensure our streets are as clean as possible.
The investment we have made in increasing the number of manual street cleaning operatives will help us give attention to areas most affected, but will also provide a visual demonstration as they walk the streets picking up rubbish that it is an issue that as a council we take very seriously. They are doing an important job on behalf of all of us so if you see them out and about make sure you say hello and show your support.
