Grounds Maintenance currently cuts 217 Hectares of grass throughout the Borough including, playing fields, public open spaces, Wulvern Housing communal areas, some highway verges (but not in the rural areas), business parks, formal parks and industrial estates. The quality of cut depends upon a number of varying factors including type of machine used and frequency of cut.

 

The mowing routes contain all the areas of grass cut by us, the routes are in alphabetical order - first by town or village and then by street location. To identify the frequency of grass cutting in your area, all you need to do is find the piece of grass in question and cross reference it against the list of routes.

 

If you wish to make an enquiry about an area of grass it would be helpful if you could quote the area number, it is important to note that on some of the areas several different routes may be involved and they may be cutting at different frequencies the timings of which may not coincide.

 

Please note that every effort is made to maintain the high standard of grass cutting on the listed areas, but on occasions things may not run to schedule. This means that the grass in your area may not be cut on a set day of the week or, exactly every 7 or 14 days. Some of the things that could affect the timetable are, breakdowns and inclement weather.

 

Every one can help to improve the public realm by taking litter home and using litterbins provided, by not parking on grass areas and crossing grass areas with vehicles causing damage and help us to keep pressure on people fly tipping and misusing public open space.
