One Darlington Sept 2020

Keeping your
streets clean
and tidy!
Before
Our Street Scene and Community Safety teams
are out and about in all weathers, making sure
our streets, back lanes and public spaces are in
great shape.
In the four weeks to August 21 alone, we…
• Cleared 228 fly-tips. Of these 135 were in back
lanes and 93 in other areas
• Issued 36 fines totalling £12,075. These were for
environmental offences including fly tipping, littering,
dog fouling and an abandoned vehicle.
After
Uniform exchange
success!
Throughout August, as the new term
approached, the council and Darlington
Cares joined forces to give families
a helping hand to get hold of school
uniform.
You responded to requests for help in your
thousands – with a mixture of blazers, shirts,
trousers, skirts, jumpers, cardigans and PE
kit being donated.
This was then professionally cleaned before
being made available for collection.
Thank you to everyone
who donated!
