Most of the construction around Norwich is happening outside the old city. Housing is spreading through Sprowston, Rackheath and the north-east growth area, around Costessey to the west and along the A11 at Hethersett and Wymondham. These are multi-year sites where road cleanliness is written into planning conditions and watched by neighbours.
Road schemes are the other source of work. The A47 southern bypass has seen junction and dualling projects, and the Broadland Northway carries traffic round the north of the city past the airport. Broadland Business Park, Norwich Research Park, Longwater and the older estates on Sweet Briar Road and Hall Road all have private roads and yards that need sweeping on a regular cycle.
Coverage across Greater Norwich
Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Old Catton, Hellesdon, Drayton, Taverham, Costessey, Cringleford and Trowse are covered with the city. Operators also take work at Wymondham, Hethersett, Poringland, Wroxham and Acle. Supply around Norwich is better than in most of Norfolk, though the county is large and vehicles committed elsewhere may not be free at short notice.
