Street cleansing

Street cleansing workshop agenda

Thursday 1 December 2016 – Hilton Hotel Blackpool 

Sponsored by Stock Sweepers and Overton UK

Are we still providing a quality service and how do we know?

Looking at the way in which quality is measured for benchmarking and performance monitoring since the demise of NI 195 in England, the continuation of LEAMS in other parts of the UK including a new monitoring strategy in Scotland and the introduction of LAMS (Land Audit Management System) to extend inspections to the wider streetscene service.

Speakers: Andrew Woodend, DEFRA, David Barnes, Zero Waste Scotland, Dave Wesson, Dudley MBC

Efficiency savings through insourcing

Wyre Council brought their street cleansing service back in-house in April 2012 as part of a cost-saving exercise but also to improve the quality of service provision. Last year they were one of APSE’s best performers.  Find out how they did it.

Speaker: Ruth Hunter, Wyre Council

Generating income in times of austerity

In increasingly difficult financial times are there commercial opportunities for street cleansing operations?  Eastleigh BC incentivises staff to find such opportunities.  Can fixed penalty notices bring in much needed income? Wirral Council are one of a number of local authorities who are using private street scene enforcement agencies.

Speakers: Paul Naylor, Eastleigh Borough Council, and Andy McCartan, Wirral Council

Managing Demand

With budgets decreasing and demands on the service continuing to rise, how do councils reduce dependency for the service through managing expectations and changing people’s behaviour?

Speaker: Dave Henrys, APSE Solutions
