Cumberland Council is pleased to announce the completion of an extensive street cleansing initiative in Keswick.
This comprehensive project, which spanned two weeks, has significantly enhanced the cleanliness and appeal of the area for residents, businesses and visitors.
The street cleaning team focused on eliminating stubborn dirt from pavements and pedestrian zones, removing chewing gum and weeds, washing street furniture, and cleaning street signs. These efforts have greatly improved the overall appearance and cleanliness of Keswick.
Given the size of the area, dedicated crews utilised specialised equipment, including the mechanical scrubbing deck for deep cleaning large pedestrian spaces, specialist jet washers, and mechanical sweepers. The thorough cleaning covered Keswick’s town centre, including St John Street, Lake Road, and ending at the A5271.
Cumberland Councillor Denise Rollo, Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
"We are pleased that the ongoing deep clean initiative, continuing from last year, has been successfully completed in Keswick. Enhancing the attractiveness of Cumberland town and city centres benefits both the local community and our visitors.
“This program demonstrates Cumberland Council’s commitment to creating a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant area, highlighting our pride in putting health and wellbeing at the forefront. Maintaining the cleanliness and functionality of our town and city centres through these efforts contributes significantly to the well-being of our residents and visitors."
