July and August saw an increase in people enjoying themselves and spending time outdoors due to the warmer weather as well as an increase in people visiting the city.

July and August were busy months for our cleansing team with an increase in people enjoying themselves and spending time outdoors due to the warmer weather as well as an increase in people visiting the city. The team focused on busy locations and deep cleaned outside several hotels to ensure the area is welcoming to those working in and visiting the city.

 

 

Chris Falcus, General Manager, Mercure Holland House Hotel Bristol.

The Redcliffe & Temple BID cleansing team have worked very hard to clean the area around Mercure Holland House. The hard work has much improved the area and our customers and hotel team are noticing this investment and attention to the area.

In addition to their core work, the team also stepped in to help water our Love Bristol planters, as they were in need of some additional watering during the heatwave.

In terms of graffiti there were again a notable number of tags across several hotspots, with the team removing a total of 321 items of graffiti in 218 different locations during July and August. The team also used a cherry picker to help reach unwanted graffiti up to 12 metres high.

Help us reduce prolific graffiti by reporting criminal damage to the police via their online reporting system.

Don’t hesitate to contact us with any unwanted graffiti you need removing or any other cleansing issues you need support with.

Ben Allen, Managing Director, Gardiner Haskins.

The cleansing team is very efficient, pro-active and responsive. We often have unwanted graffiti on our shutters and outside walls and their work improves the look of our business. I recommend other levy paying businesses to take advantage of this free service.
