Autumn leaves are falling
Autumn is here and the sweeping of kerbs, channels and roads is underway.
Sweeping footpaths is not part of the regular maintenance work of Marlborough Roads, unless there is a safety risk caused by debris. So we need your help to keep the footpath outside your home clear of leaves.
Street flooding can be prevented by removing rubbish or sweeping leaves from roadside drains. You can also help by checking your drains when heavy rain is forecast.
If you see any blockages or need a hand to clear a drain or footpath please phone: 03 520 7400.

59% Yes, supporting people is important!

24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility

16.7% ... It is complicated
