Grass cutting

The Council cuts grass to ensure that people can use roads and pavements safely. Although environmental issues are of paramount concern, grass cutting is actually carried out for highway safety reasons rather than environmental purposes.

What grass won't the Council cut?

We do not cut the grass that is:

  • privately owned
  • on properties/estates owned by bodies other than the Council.

What grass will the Council cut?

We will cut the grass on all council-owned land:

  • highways
  • verges
  • public open space
  • schools
  • parks
  • town centres
  • memorial gardens.

To report problems with grass in any of the areas above please use the contact details below.
