Council staff clean up main roads into Brighton and Hove
The big clean up began on Monday (January 30), after Highways England gave Brighton and Hove City Council permission to collect litter from grass verges and remove any flytipped items on the roads.
Cllr Gill Mitchell, chairman of the environment, transport and sustainability committee, said: “It’s important that we keep our highways clear of rubbish. Not only does litter thrown onto roads create a safety hazard to other vehicles but it’s harmful to the surrounding environment and a threat to wildlife.
