Ashfield District Council: Grass cutting

Grass cutting

The Council cuts grass to ensure that people can use roads and pavements safely. Although environmental issues are of paramount concern, grass cutting is actually carried out for highway safety reasons rather than environmental purposes.

We do not cut the grass that is:

privately owned
on properties/estates owned by bodies other than the Council

We will cut the grass on all council owned land, such as:

highways (in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council)
verges
public open space
parks
town centres
memorial gardens

The grass cutting of highway verges is carried out by Ashfield District Council, as partners to Nottinghamshire County Council, the Highway Authority.

To report problems with grass cutting please contact us.

The Council cuts the grass between 15 and 20 times per year following a cyclic maintenance program. Grass clippings are not removed this is standard practice throughout most councils and is in accordance with British Standard 7370.
