Grounds Maintenance

Verges

The majority of grass verges adjacent to roads are within the public highway and therefore come under the responsibility of us as the Highway Authority.

In fulfilling its responsibilities as Highway Authority, we are required to keep verges safe and unobstructed and this is particularly important at road junctions where clear visibility for motorists and pedestrians is important.

We arrange grass cutting in-house or via external contractors. Funding is allocated annually through the routine highways maintenance budget to ensure that grass cutting is continued throughout the growing season.

In rural areas, a number of grass verges have rare or endangered species of flora/fauna and here the grass cutting regime is tailored to suit.
