i used to drive a road sweeper for a living and the reason they closed it to people whilst it made its

rounds is probably due to the fact that some members of the public are idiots, they see a truck

reversing along a road and think its fine to walk directly behind it or in front of it. As for it sweeping stuff up,

unless you put plenty of water down on the ground as you travel along you create a dust storm behind

your truck even if its raining, as the suction of the machine normally sucks the moisture out of the dust.

Also if you don't put a lot of water down the suction box becomes covered in a layer of mud that eventually

blocks the suction tube, and you don't realise its happened until you turn round and see the trail of dirt that you've left.

I also was there early and knowing it had been raining heavily a few days before me and the missus came prepared with

wellingtons and the knowledge that some of the ground would be muddy.

Thats my rant over and done with.

the person we were doing the work for was called David Enige, he is a local contractor unfortunately i

don't have his phone number but i do know he has some machines on the new incinerator site at Ardley

landfill and the new housing site near tesco in Buckingham. i hope this is of some use to you with the bowser.
