Dirty yards and tree maintenance top the list of complaints to the City of Windsor call centre.

The city has released the Top 10 calls for the 311 call centre for the second quarter of 2017.

The number of dirty yard calls was up by 249 when compared to the same period in 2016, while tree maintenance calls were down by 136.

“The mild winter has likely been a factor in the increase in calls, as typical dirty yard complaints involve things like grass and weeds in excess of 12 inches,” says By-Law Enforcement Manager Bill Tetler.  “And whether its grass and weeds, or discarded household items and debris, we appreciate residents calling 311 so we can investigate and do what’s needed to help keep our city looking great.”
