A new £82,000 machine is making a clean sweep of Mid Ulster town centres.
It’s specially equipped to cleanse the pavements installed in Cookstown, Dungannon and Magherafelt as part of the public realm enhancements.
The ‘City Master’ sweeper received funding of £70K from the Department for Communities (DfC), with the remaining investment provided by Mid Ulster District Council.
Councillor Kenneth Reid, Chair of the Council’s Environment Committee, said the public realm works in the three main towns represented significant investment from both the Department for Communities and the council, and so maintaining the quality finishes is obviously important.
“This new modern sweeper, employing the latest equipment, will assist greatly and I’m pleased to see it now operational in the core of our retail areas”.
The machine also has additional features, including a scrubbing and sweeping deck and winter maintenance equipment.
