Leaf fall and road sweeping

Our contractor operates a planned district-wide programme, sweeping towns and neighbourhoods on a rotational basis, including Paekākāriki, Raumati, Paraparaumu, Waikanae and Ōtaki. In addition, extra monthly sweeping is scheduled in selected locations where leaf fall and debris tend to build up more quickly.
