A deep clean of Harold Hill’s main town centre shopping area has been carried out by Havering Council and its street cleaning contractors, FCC.

FCC and Havering Council conduct a street clean outside Harold Hill Library.

The works are part of the Cabinet’s 100 Day plan which included delivering improvements that residents expect to see, such as cleaner streets and town centres in its first 100 days of administration.

FCC crews mostly carry out the works in the morning, making the most of the time when there is less footfall.

Councillor Keith Prince, Leader of Havering Council, Councillor Martynas Cekavicius, Havering’s Cabinet Member for Public Realm and ward councillors visited the Hilldene area to look in on the works taking place.

The deep clean works have included using specialised equipment such as a Gladiator MV7000 which includes a mechanical scrubbing deck and uses steam for deep cleaning large pedestrian spaces, alongside the teams using jet washers, and other mechanical sweepers.

The machinery enables the crews to get stubborn dirt from the pavements and areas in front and around local businesses, cleansing unsightly graffiti, washing street furniture, and cleaning street signs.

This work will help towards improving the overall appearance and cleanliness of the areas.

The current deep clean works started in Romford in August, followed by Hornchurch and Collier Row..

The Cabinet are also looking at extending the works for other town centre areas across the Borough in the coming weeks.
