                    Does Well In The Sweep-stakes  
                  Council 
                    introduces initiatives for a cleaner, tidier borough 
                  Ealing 
                    Council have announced plans to introduce weekly street cleaning 
                    of all streets in the Borough from July.  
                  Councillor 
                    Portwood, who represents East Acton as well as holding the 
                    post Cabinet Member for Streets and Environment, said � I 
                    am extremely pleased to announce this historic improvement 
                    keeping street cleaning; doubling the cleaning for most of 
                    the borough. This is only possible because the council agreed 
                    to spend an extra £500,000 on street cleaning, in the 
                    teeth of opposition from the conservatives.� 
                  Cllr Portwood 
                    also announced the introduction of four new �Dumped Rubbish 
                    Investigation Units�- rapid response teams picking up fly 
                    tipping, dumping and other rubbish on the streets. For the 
                    first time this service will now be provided at the weekend. 
                  He claimed 
                    that �Litter and flytipping plague our streets and Labour 
                    are determined to attack them vigorously. We know that people 
                    in our borough will welcome this major action against ant-social 
                    behaviour�
