Greening & Urban Maintenance

Over the past months, our teams have been hard at work maintaining and refreshing the Strand area. These projects are aimed at improving the quality of the public environment for all who live, work and visit here.

A major highlight has been the Beach Road Circle project.

In addition, regular urban maintenance projects have included:

Urban cleaning and maintenance – tackling illegal dumping, graffiti removal, gutter and drain cleaning, poster removal and high-pressure sanitising.

Greening initiatives – planting, landscaping and maintaining public spaces to create a more welcoming and environmentally friendly urban landscape.

Ongoing upgrades – responding to service requests, addressing problem areas and ensuring that seasonal changes don’t compromise the safety or cleanliness of our streets.

Together, these efforts lay the foundation for a brighter, cleaner and greener spring and summer season.
