Street cleansing – Hatch Lane

Reported to Council officers for Action:

There is rubbish build up along Hatch Lane, Harmondsworth near the Bath Road side. Can this area please be deep cleaned/ swept. 
This issue is occurring again-and-again in all the Village entrances along the bath road where ever Bus stops are present. Can litter cleansing be increased at these locations?
