During our canvass we had a couple of enquiries about who is responsible for street cleaning in Sandon a Road where some of the responsibility lies with Birmingham. Cllr Steve Eling has now received this clarification…
On the same side as Rutland Sheds and Murco, Serco will clean from the junction with Bearwood Road / Three Shires Oak Road up to the junction of Barnsley Road by the church. Whilst there are some Birmingham lighting columns on the section outside Rutland Sheds which caused some initial confusion, this area is Sandwell. They also clean (as they did before) a small section of Sandon Road on the same side as TC Hayes up to the back of the Willow Road flats.Birmingham cleanse from the back of the Willow Road flats (on the TC Hayes side) onwards towards the junction with Hagley Road, and also pickup the other side from the junction of Barnsley Road with the church.
This has traditionally been a difficult area for litter and flytipping, and hopefully should now show some improvement.
