How you can help us

Grass cutting

If you would like to cut the grass more often than we can, this is okay provided it can be carried out safely.

Grass cuttings can be left evenly spread over the mown verge or disposed of with your lawn cuttings. Please do not pile them on the verge or leave them where they can block drains or ditches. We are unable to collect cuttings from you.

Always make sure you can carry out any maintenance safely, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and be aware of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

If overgrown grass is causing visibility issues for road users and you cannot help cut it back, let us know by using our reporting tool.

If you do see a build up of litter report this to the district council so that this can be cleared before the grass cutting starts.

Bulbs and wildflowers

If you would like to plant bulbs such as daffodils and crocus in verges, let us know by using our reporting tool. By telling us, we can try and make sure the verges are not cut until after the flowering period.
