It all started on Valentine’s Day 2019 when the rapid response Cleansing Team was introduced, with the aim of spreading the love and supporting levy paying businesses with street cleansing challenges that directly impact their businesses. Now operating seven days a week, the team shows us their love of the city by providing acts of service, including deep cleaning pavements, doorways, street furniture and business frontages to keep the city looking pristine.

In their 5 years of operation, they have cleaned over 17,000 miles in total across the Old City, Queens Road, Park Street, Baldwin Street, and the Harbourside, the team has collectively delivered 21,275 hours of additional cleansing and removed over 6103 graffiti tags from business properties across the city centre.
