We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because The treads and walking areas are finished in chequer plate to minimise the slip risk that would otherwise be present associated with a metal surface. Whilst street cleansing and the removal of leaves are a discretionary district function, it is unlikely that any commitment could be made to attend on a frequent enough basis to stop this expected situation in Autumn and Winter months. Thank you for reporting this matter.
