Have your say on the future of local councils in Surrey

Take part in a landmark Government consultation on proposals to replace Surrey's current councils with up to three larger authorities. We support a three unitary approach - Find out more and read our consultation question guide.

Join us for a special online engagement session hosted by the Leaders of Guildford and Waverley Borough Councils on Thursday 3 July from 7pm to 8pm via Microsoft Teams. We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Sweeper schedules

Large sweepers sweep main routes monthly. Most adjoining roads are swept every three months. This schedule is based on a full fleet of sweepers. We're currently running with reduced sweepers.

Street sweeping vehicle

A small sweeper cleans residential roads three times a year.

Leaves are collected on the normal sweeping schedule. In the autumn and winter we hire more equipment to deal with this. Most of the leaves we collect are composted. Certain roads in the borough get special treatment during the autumn. This is due to the size and number of trees.
