Aberdeenshire Council has launched a Street Cleansing Survey to find out what residents think about the appearance of their local area.

The new survey, which is available online now and will be live until Friday, November 9, 2012, gives people a chance to air their views on litter, the provision of street cleansing services, and what improvements they would like to see.

The results of the survey will be analysed by the Waste Management service and will also be published on the council’s website.

Chairman of the Infrastructure Services Committee, Cllr Peter Argyle, said: “This is an important opportunity for local people to tell the council how they feel the street cleansing service is being provided in their area.

“I would urge people to get involved, complete the survey, and tell us how they feel.”

Committee vice-chair, Cllr Alan Buchan, said: “This is a great way for people to make sure their voices are being heard and the council will consider all responses to the survey.”
