1.1 The Royal Borough of Greenwich (RBG) is a London borough in south-east London, England. The borough lies along the south bank of the River Thames between Deptford and Thamesmead. It has an area of 5,044 hectares. It has a water frontage of 8 miles. Greenwich is bounded by the London Boroughs of Bexley to the east, Bromley to the south, Lewisham to the west and across the River Thames to the north lie Tower Hamlets, Newham and Barking and Dagenham.
1.2 The borough has very good transport links, Central London is only 15 minutes away via train and there are various river crossings including the Thames Clipper and foot tunnels under the River Thames between Greenwich and Island Gardens and between Woolwich and North Woolwich. The Woolwich Ferry takes vehicle traffic and links the North Circular Road to the South Circular Road which runs through the borough. A cable car links Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks.
1.3 The Council’s visions and values are delivered through the Council and its partners, and the service will support the Council in achieving its goal for high quality services and value for money services.
1.4 RBG aims to maintain the high quality of the environment throughout the whole borough. The cleanliness of our highways and estates is imperative to maintain the high standards we seek for those living and working in the borough, as well as visiting and travelling through the borough. To be able to maintain a consistent level of high standards, Streets Services sweep approximately 1550 (one thousand five hundred and fifty) linear kilometers of highway residential and town centre roads and a further 7 (seven) linear kilometers of River Pathway. This operation includes the removal of all weeds from these areas.
