Verges
The majority of grass verges adjacent to roads are within the public highway and therefore come under the responsibility of the council as Highway Authority.
In fulfilling its responsibilities as Highway Authority, the council is required to keep verges safe and unobstructed, which is particularly important at road junctions where clear visibility for motorists and pedestrians is important.
The council arranges grass cutting using our own staff or 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.
