They are near a large Burger King and a strategic (trunk) route but they have put in proper picnic stopping points on some of the laybys with benches and tourist information signs, almost inviting people to stop off but no toilets or bins provided! As you can imagine they are very unsanitary and alot of snack food litter, not just fast food but like sandwiches and crisps alot 14 February 2022 at 12:59 pm in reply to: For the first time, we have included LEAMS data for street verges (this does not impact your overall score). Do you have any observations on this element of your report? #4572 wasteawarenesspowysParticipant We are going to start doing LEAMS instead of the highways inspectors now so i am just getting the lads set up on Epi-collect, one thing i noted highways prior methodology seems to just be to pick a random sample of streets from zone 1, 2, 3 etc, any guidance on trying to make sure we select a representative sample to audit, other than common sense mixing rich/poor/residential/retail type areas ?? 14 February 2022 at 12:57 pm in reply to: For the first time, we have included LEAMS data for street verges (this does not impact your overall score).

I appreicate in this vast rural beauty spot, they are relatively cleaner than streets in Cardiff or trunk road laybys but i would say generally i think here at least the towns and ressidental streets are reasonably clean but the unrestricted highways are the more littered areas as they are just so difficult and labourious to litter pick Author Posts Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total)
