Agenda item

Members considered the service report card for the Highways and Drainage Service.

Members began by asking for their thanks and gratitude be recorded for the staff who undertake this  activity which in general will be in poor working conditions.

Officers were asked whether there was an opportunity to engage with a private company in the autumn  when  leaves fall to the ground causing problems in culverts  It was further suggested that a company could collect the leaves and then have them recycled. Members were advised that Neighbourhood Services currently hire in two additional sweepers with drivers in the Autumn. .

Members stated that the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Authority would be interested in assisting with any future problems. Officers confirmed that there was already a signed partnership agreement in place in relation to culverts and that was working well.

Following scrutiny the report was noted.
