Environment

Street Scene endeavours to deliver joined up working between services working on and around the highway, sharing resources to achieve a more efficient way of maintaining more than 10,000 streets across the district. We aim to deliver a high level of satisfaction promoting community cohesion and equality in all aspects of service delivery.
