Ramsey Commissioners have introduced a street cleaning and litter policy, which sets out the authority’s approach to street cleaning.

It includes provision of enough litter and dog bins in the town, the undertaking of regular sweeping of all streets and pavements and the provision and maintenance of street lighting.

A schedule of when street cleaning is undertaken is incorporated into the policy, as are details of the service provision.

The policy can be viewed at Ramsey Library and via www.ramsey.gov.im.

Ramsey Commissioners chairman Andy Cowie said: ’The policy clarifies our approach to street tidiness and places set targets on our responses to litter.

’This policy builds on the good work already undertaken by the team and formalises the approach that the Commission take to managing the cleaning of our town.

’The commission also need the support of residents and visitors to our town to help us keep the town looking smart and to continue to be a place that we can take pride in.’
