Cumberland Council has completed an extensive street cleansing initiative for Egremont.
The project was finalised in October and focused on eliminating stubborn dirt from pavements and pedestrianised zones, enhancing the overall cleanliness and appeal of the area for residents and visitors alike.
Due to the size of the area, dedicated crews used, the mechanical scrubbing deck, specialist jet washers and mechanical sweepers diligently to thoroughly clean Egremont’s town centre. The mechanical scrubbing deck is a specialist piece of equipment which deep cleans large areas of pedestrian spaces.
The council team additionally conducted thorough cleaning of the underpasses, the vicinity of the memorial, and the entrance at West Lakes Academy.
Cumberland Councillor Denise Rollo, Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
"We are pleased that this deep clean initiative has been implemented across the Cumberland patch. We have now successfully undertaken deep cleans in Workington, Cleator Moor, Millom as well as Egremont.
“Enhancing the attractiveness of these town centres is excellent news for both the local community and our visitors.
“Initiatives such as the street cleaning programme shows Cumberland Council’s dedication to create a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant area for all, and highlights a sense of pride and shows our commitment to put health and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.”
