We work in partnership with Essex County Council to ensure rural verges across the district are cut annually.
Our schedule for this autumn is as follows and covers the period from September to the end of October.
The verge cutting schedule is dependent on weather conditions; periods of heavy rainfall mean our contractor is unable to cut the verges without doing damage. This can put our contractor behind on the published schedule and so should be used as a guide only.
