Update on our grass cutting service: new grass cutting schedule announced

Thanks to all our customers for bearing with us while we had to postpone our grass cutting service due to coronavirus - we know that some of our areas looked a bit overgrown and unloved.

Our Grounds Maintenance team has been working hard for the last three and a half weeks in all our neighbourhoods cutting grass in communal areas to make them look smart again.

The team will now be cutting grass every four weeks. The schedule on our grass cutting web page shows you when our team will be cutting the grass near you.

All our staff have been provided with the necessary equipment and safety advice to ensure they can deliver our grass cutting service without risk to you or them. They are complying with government guidance on social distancing at work so if you can, please keep your distance from them if you see them working.

When the lockdown was announced by the government we had to stop our grass cutting service to help make sure that we could operate more essential services for our customers. Our grounds maintenance team was redeployed to help to get unoccupied properties ready for people who desperately needed them and to clear rubbish and fly tipping from our neighbourhoods to protect everyone’s health and safety,

When it was safe to do so we made grass cutting and clearing grass cuttings from footpaths our priority to get our neighbourhoods looking as neat as possible.

We will undertake hedge cutting and other jobs later in the season – we’ll share details of this soon.
