Brecon is a small market town inside the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, at the meeting of the A40 and A470. Both trunk roads skirt the town on a bypass, and maintenance of those routes, including resurfacing and verge and rock-face work on long rural stretches, is one of the more regular reasons a sweeper is needed locally.
Otherwise the work is rural in character. Livestock market traffic, farm vehicles and forestry lorries bring mud onto the roads, the army’s presence in the town and on the ranges near Sennybridge involves heavy vehicle movements, and small housing and commercial sites open up from time to time. Summer festivals and visitor traffic add occasional clean-up jobs.
Coverage in Brecon and the national park
Llanfaes, Llanfrynach, Libanus, Sennybridge, Talgarth, Bronllys and Crickhowell can be covered, with Builth Wells and Hay-on-Wye considered on request. Brecon is a long way from the main concentrations of sweeper operators, so vehicles come in over the Beacons or along the A40. Plan for travel, book early and think in terms of a full shift.
