The Mitie team is hard at work keeping the Estate tidy during leaf-fall season! They cover 19 designated sweeping routes, completing the whole Estate in approx. two weeks. To give you an idea of scale:

7 miles of road

Around 200 tonnes of leaves collected each autumn

From over 600 street trees

Recently, the London Plane trees have dropped their leaves, and as these are some of the largest trees on the Estate, the team will be carrying out targeted leaf clearance in affected areas over the next couple of days, especially with heavy rain forecast.

While we can’t guarantee leaf-free streets at all times during autumn, please be assured that daily leaf collection is happening and is the team’s top priority right now.

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work to keep the Estate looking its best!
