HAULAGE contractors working for Haringey Council will have to clear spillage on roads or pay for the council to do it for them. Others who spill debris on the council's roads will face prosecution under the Highways Act 1959.
This will be the result of a campaign to be launched shortly by the Haringey Council in an attempt to keep roads clear of mud and dirt. The campaign was endorsed at a special joint meeting of Haringey's cleansing and transport and highways and works panel early in June and the council expects many prosecutions initially.
Most of the problem, it is said, is caused by contractors' lorries leaving building sites. In new council contracts, clauses will be inserted under which hauliers will undertake to clear mud or dirt dropped on the road. Alternatively, the cleansing department will carry out the work and the haulier will be charged.
From May 6 to June 5, says the council, the total cost of road cleaning was £2,285 and to clear the British Rail site at Imperial Road cost £280.
