About Clean, Safe and Green

The Clean, Safe and Green department is made up of a number of different teams, each looking after and providing a specific service. The teams are: Clean, Safe and Green, Parks and Open Spaces, Trees and Woodlands, and Countryside Access and Rights of Way. These teams all work together to maintain the outdoor spaces in the borough and ensure a pleasant environment for our residents.

The Clean, Safe and Green teams are multi-skilled and carry out a wide range of services from litter picking to mowing. There are seven area teams, each looking after one neighbourhood. This allows the teams to work closely with the Community Wardens and Police serving that area to tackle environmental problems such as graffiti, vandalism and drug-related litter. They are responsible for grass cutting in public areas across the borough, including parks, open spaces, amenity greens, verges, play areas, hedges and sports pitches.

A special rapid response team is available to clear priority street issues, such as fly-tipping.

The teams cover:

• Adeyfield and Highfield
• Berkhamsted, Northchurch and Ashridge
• Bovingdon, Flaunden, Chipperfield, Nash Mills and Kings Langley
• Boxmoor, Chaulden, Warners End and Gadebridge
• Grovehill, Watling and Woodhall Farm
• Hemel Hempstead town centre, Leverstock Green, Apsley, Corner Hall and Bennetts End
• Tring, Aldbury and Wigginton
