Two state-of-the-art road sweepers have been purchased by Gedling Borough Council to boost cleanliness across the borough.
The new road sweepers will be arriving just in time for Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean, a nationwide campaign encouraging people to come together to help clean up their local communities.
The Swingo 200+ sweepers are equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance street cleaning across the borough.
These advanced machines will tackle everything from footpaths and cycle paths to high-pressure cleaning and weed control.
The new sweepers reduce the time needed to cover large area and also use eco-friendly technology to cut emissions.
Councillor Marje Paling, Portfolio Holder for Environmental Services, said:
“We’re proud to introduce these new road sweepers as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Gedling clean. Investing in high-quality street cleaning means a better environment for everyone. With the Great British Spring Clean just around the corner, this is the perfect time to encourage our communities to take pride in their local area.”
The sweepers are already in action, and residents can expect to see an improvement in street cleanliness in the coming weeks. As the Great British Spring Clean launched on 21st March, the council invites everyone to get involved and help make Gedling Borough a cleaner, greener place to live.

Not seen a road sweeper in calverton for months, i was walking on labray road yesterday and its terrible, to be fair alot is the bin lorry as they drop rubbish and dont pick it up.
You can have the greatest cutting edge machines on the planet but its only as good as the operatives that drive them & their attitude & application on how well they want to get the job done, some streets seem to not even get touched by manual litter pickers never mind ” State of the art” machines, take a look at James Street, Chapel Lane, Cherry Close, Campion Street, Furlong Street, High Street Avenue, The walkway at the side of Boyes AKA Broken Glass Alley to name but a few, not seen a litter picker in God knows how long, & that’s just the tip of the iceberg ?
