The value of the contract for one year is £12,000.
The cleaner started work on 6th October and will operate from a base in the Quarry car park.. He will be supported with the necessary tools and equipment including a mechanical 414 road sweeper, a “Glutton” electric vacuum machine, a power blower, hand cart fitted with brushes, shovels, hoes etc., van transport and necessary safety and sanitary equipment.
he purpose is to provide a cleaning resource over and above that currently routinely provided by the City Council within the Mumbles residential and commercial area. To deal with litter, weed growth, fly tipping and the like, in streets, public areas and private land accessed by the public.
Roger Beynon, Chairman of Mumbles Community Council, states that the Council hope that this contract will help in reducing the significant number of complaints the Council regularly receive regarding litter throughout Mumbles. At the same time the Council will be promoting a litter awareness/reduction campaign via the general public and shopkeepers, especially at outlets such as fast food shops that generate waste. He stresses that this initiative is a direct response to public concerns and is in addition to, and not instead of, the City Council’s current street cleaning routines.
