  There certainly is a skill on drawing up these contracts. Two approaches might be to require a road to be swept twice daily, the other would be to require a specific standard of cleanliness. In the latter case the road would be swept at frequencies determined by conditions. When I was TS Chairman we identified a set of standards so that if a road reached a particular level of littering it would need to be clean within X hours, at another level Y hours. This was backed up by photographs of the levels required. It sounds complex but it did work and I remember a certain local businessman, who is still around, taking the trouble to write to the press to congratulate the Council on the cleanliness of the streets. Unusual that!
