# Roading/Streets, 15, Desmond Street, Merivale, 8014, Canterbury

Merivale, Christchurch · filed 27 May 2018 · report 434943
https://www.chch.live/report/434943

> Large build up of leaf fall at the south west end of Desmond Street . There are very large mature trees at this half of the street which due to the heavy leaf fall are blocking the storm water drains, and because the gutters are so full, the laves are spilling out onto the road. Which makes for a disgraceful mess. Please plan to sweep the street only after 5pm. During the day both sides of the entire street are congested with subcontractors vehicles, and it would be a total waste of Council money to send a road sweeper in , as the sweeper would not be able to get anywhere near the street gutters to pick up the large leaf fall. Thank you.
