Tony Lit welcomes new street cleaners

Ealing Southall

Ealing Southall by-election candidate Tony Lit today welcomed the addition of 50 new street cleaners who start work in the Borough this week. Tony says: "The people I meet have already noticed the impact that the new Conservative administration has made with street cleaning over the last year or so. With this extra push the Tories will really make a difference across Ealing and Southall."

Ealing Council today announced that 50 new street cleaners started work this week as it stepped up its promise to clean up the borough’s streets. This follows a decision to spend an extra £1.5 million on cleaner street services this year.

The 75% rise in budget will keep sweepers out for longer and more often and mean many more streets are cleaned every day instead of twice a week. Other roads will be upgraded from being cleaned once to twice weekly.

Under new arrangements areas around the borough’s rail and tube stations will be cleaned daily in the morning and again in the afternoon, so they will be tidier when commuters travel to and from work.
