Elmbridge Council's online street cleaning reporting system is billed to be a hit in Walton on Thames
The council's new online Street Cleaning Search Facility has been introduced as part of a number of wider improvements to the borough’s street cleaning service.
The measures include new mechanical sweepers, additional recycling bins for town centres, new cleaners in town centres and the ability to now send a text message to the council highlighting an area in need of attention.
Cllr Glenn Dearlove, Portfolio Holder for the Environment said: "We know Elmbridge residents take pride in where they live so we have improved the service and enabled residents to work with us to keep Elmbridge a beautiful place to live, work or visit."
Keep Walton on Thames tidy by letting the council know about a street that needs cleaning. If you've checked the online search facility and the next clean isn't due for a while, send a text to 07786 207 665. Alternatively use the online reporting system .

This sounds great. I think it's a brilliant idea that you can text message the council to let them know about an area that needs tidying up. Often if I see a dirty area it annoys me but by the time I have got home or been to work or whatever I have forgotten. This way, you can text as and when you see it. But I hope when they get the text they will actually do something. If they do, then hats off to the council as this could be a really good service.
