We are responsible for the maintenance of grass
verges in urban areas across North Somerset.
We mow in areas of Weston-super-Mare, Portishead, Nailsea and
Clevedon at least 14 times each year between March and October to
keep the highway safe for road users.
We have a schedule for grass cutting and regularly inspect how
often and how well verges have been cut.
We don't always collect grass cuttings and sometimes leave them
to rot for environmental reasons.
If we do not collect grass after cutting we sweep or blow it off
paths.
We do not cut grass on land we do not own.
We are also responsible for the maintenance of ornamental
roundabouts and flowerbeds, which we cut 21 times a year, and
naturalised daffodils, which we cut 10 times a year.
We also apply weedkiller to walls, fence lines and vehicle
barriers in the winter and strim along them in mid to late
summer.
We are also responsible for cutting rural grass verges.
