How often does the council cut the grass?
We aim to cut the grass every 10 working days. This is dependant on weather conditions. When excessive rainfall occurs we are unable to cut without causing damage and this often put's the Teams behind on their work. In these instances the target may not be acheived and it may take a little time to get back to normal.

Some wildlife and woodland and other naturalised areas of grass throughout the District, are only cut once or twice a year.
