Street Cleansing

St Erme Parish Council work in partnership with Cornwall Council to provide the street cleansing in our Parish; we employ a street cleaner who is responsible for emptying the litter bins and carrying out litter picking in the areas within the 30mph speed limit.

Our street cleaner also carries out additional duties such as cleaning the council's noticeboards and checking the council's play equipment. 

Grass Maintenance

We work in partnership with Cornwall Council to carry out the grass maintenance of a small area within the village of Tripsen Hill and have chosen to maintain the grass verges along the full length of Trispen Hill at a higher level. This is carried out by a contractor on our behalf.

The areas at Eglos Road, Killigrew Gardens, Polglase Walk, Trevella Vean, Polisken Way, Tower Road and Chancery Close are maintained by Cornwall Council and Truthan View is managed by Blenheims Estate and Asset Management Company.
