There could be delays on the A46 and A6 as spring clean gets underway

A rolling lane closure will be in place while cleaning is being carried out

Charnwood Borough Council’s waste partner Serco will be undertaking the clean-up which includes removing litter and debris from the central reservations and verges of the A6 and A46.

Matt Bradford, the Council’s head of contracts: Leisure, waste and environment said: “The Council is committed to caring for the environment and keeping the borough a clean place to live and visit. Part of this includes cleansing sections of the A6 and A46 in Charnwood twice a year.

“A significant amount of planning is required for the clean-ups including rolling lane closures which will be in place while work is being carried out.

“We understand it’s frustrating to see litter on the roads. I would urge people to also play their part in looking after the environment by placing any rubbish in a litter bin while they are out and about or save it and dispose of it at home.

“Small actions can make a big difference, so please do your bit and help us to keep our borough clean and tidy.”

The clean-up is due to start 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.
