Council Leader Cllr Mike Stonard, Cllr Jess Carrington, staff from the council and Norwich City Services Ltd (NCSL) have conducted checks in the George Pope Road area, ahead of upcoming clean-up work.
Along with identifying areas for NCSL teams to target, Cllrs Stonard and Carrington spoke with residents to hear their views on priorities needed to enhance the area.
As part of the council’s Love Norwich campaign, teams from Norwich City Council and NCSL, which provides environmental services on behalf of the council, have been working on a rolling programme of neighbourhood clean-up visits to remove fly-tipped rubbish, litter and graffiti in public areas, tidy grass edging and shrubs, clean pavements and sweep hard surfaces.
Love Norwich was launched in November 2022 to action the city council’s commitment to keeping the city a clean and inviting place for residents, businesses and visitors.
The campaign also aims to build partnerships with residents and businesses to bring about real change where communities can take pride in their neighbourhoods.
Cllr Mike Stonard, leader of Norwich City Council, said:
“Our commitment to keeping the city a clean and inviting place for residents, businesses and visitors, continues at pace.
“Walkabout inspections such as this are vital to ensure that we have a real sense of the issues experienced by local communities and to speak with residents to hear their views and experiences, first-hand.
“We are all responsible for making our city a better place and we know Norwich has a great community spirit, so we would urge everyone who lives and works here to be vigilant and do their bit by working with us. If you see fly-tipping or find items illegally dumped on public land, then please report it to us as soon as possible via the council’s website.”
