Grass verges

We are responsible for maintaining grass verges on the public highway, including on roundabouts, compounds, central reserves and roadside verges, to ensure that people can use roads and pavements safely.

We do not cut grass that is:

• privately owned
• on properties or estates owned by bodies other than Brent Council.

We will:

• make sure that the grass verges are not more than 75 millimetres high at any time during the contract period
• make sure that all grassed edges are trimmed back to the grassed areas
• remove all grass clippings that fall outside the grassed area immediately after cutting (grass clippings will lie where they fall on grass areas).

Once you have reported your inquiry we will:

• inspect the grass verge within two working days, and
• arrange for the grass verges to be cut, if necessary within five working days of carrying out the inspection.

If repairs are necessary, once we have carried out the inspection we will make recommendations for the grass verge to be repaired within 10 working days.
