Short answer: Clear leaves from slippery paths, drains and lawns where they cause problems, then reuse healthy material as habitat, mulch or leaf mould where suitable. Keep diseased leaves separate and follow local disposal guidance. Balance safety, plant health and wildlife rather than removing every leaf immediately.
