Dealing with autumn leaves
The cooler weather has begun and with it, leaves have started to change colour and drop.
Council’s Parks and Open Spaces team deals with leaves in our gardens and parks, collecting them where possible and using them to make compost.
Leaves on the roads are dealt with by Marlborough Roads.
Leaves can be collected and spread on your gardens as a weed smothering/water retaining mulch or added to compost heaps. Mowing the leaves can help them break down faster.
If you see blocked drains or leaf build up you can report it to Council through the Antenno App. Antenno is Council’s free mobile app and a great way to keep up to date with important Council alerts.
Free to install it is available on Apple and Android smartphones and no personal information or login details are required.
