Roads cleaned

THE A46 and the A6 in Charnwood will be cleaned this month.

Charnwood Borough Council’s waste partner Serco will be undertaking the clean-up in March and April, removing litter and debris from central reservations and verges of the A6 and A46 in the borough.

The clean-up is completed twice a year and normally takes place around the same time as the clocks change.

Litter becomes more visible before the clean-ups take place due to grass verges being cut back and the increased daylight.

Matt Bradford, the Council’s head of contracts, leisure, waste and environment, said: “A significant amount of planning is required for the cleanups, including rolling lane closures, which will be in place while work is being carried out.”

The clean-up started on Saturday March 25 and will be ongoing until Friday April 21, 2023.

A rolling lane closure will be in place while cleaning is being carried out, which may cause delays.

The central reservation will be cleared first, followed by the outside verges on both sides.
