Alleyways

Clear It! applications have reopened

Helping communities safely clean up an alleyway or open space in their neighbourhood.

Alleyways in North East Lincolnshire are privately owned, and the responsibility for keeping them clean is with all residents that back and side onto them.

Gated alleyways

Residents are responsible for the management and maintenance of gated alleyways. Residents would need agreement from all the relevant households before the installation of a gated alleyway. The Council do not fund the installation or upkeep of gated alleyway projects.

Fly-tipping

If fly-tipping is occurring and there is enough evidence, the Council can take enforcement action. But if the problem is general waste and the Council can’t identify an individual responsible, all residents of adjoining properties may be held collectively responsible.

Please remember that alleyways in North East Lincolnshire are private land and the responsibility for keeping them clean lies with all residents that have access over them.

How it works

Community-led clean-ups: Residents volunteer to clear waste from alleyways or open spaces.
Council support: Staff help dispose of the rubbish and provide equipment like litter pickers, bin bags, and large bins.
Boosting pride: It’s all about working together to make neighbourhoods cleaner and safer.

Applications open Saturday 1st November, apply by 31st December. Please email [email protected] to apply.
