Clearing fallen leaves from pavements and street gutters

by Ian Yuill on 24 October, 2021

Council street cleaning staff have now started the work of clearing fallen leaves from pavements and street gutters across Aberdeen. To work as efficiently as possible, they do this area by area.

This leaf clearing work will be carried out over the next 10-12 weeks.

During that time, council staff do not follow the usual sweeping routes and programmes but concentrate on leaf fall hots spots and areas prone to flooding. That means some places will receive several visits from street cleaning staff over the next few weeks.

If you know of a particular problem area where fallen leaves are a hazard or may cause flooding, please do let me know and I will ask council staff to prioritise it.

    Thorngrove Avenue is a fallen leaves ‘hot-spot’ it’s becoming more and more difficult to determine where the gutter and pavement
    Edge is now and this just the beginning of leaf drop. It is a critical decision whether an individual risks slipping on the walk way or having to jump over the covered gutter whereby running the risk of a fast moving vehicle
