The grass cutting season usually runs from March/April through to October/November.

We cut our grass areas across the borough at various frequencies, depending on how often it is needed and the type of site it is. In many locations we have changed our grass cutting regimes to leave more grass longer for wildlife and to allow wild flowers to grow.

Soft and wet ground conditions will sometimes make it difficult or even dangerous to operate mowing machines, and can lead to delays in grass cutting schedules.
