We are responsible for maintaining grass verges on the public highway, including on roundabouts, central reservations, and roadside verges, to ensure that people can use roads and pavements safely.
We do not cut grass that is privately owned or on properties or estates owned by groups other than us.
Grass verge cutting schedule
View the 2025 verge cutting schedules for:
The information within the schedules shows the date of the first cut of each verge. Subsequent cuts will take place every 5 weeks throughout the summer.
Grass is allowed to grow to an average uniform height of 300mm. This excludes weeds and isolated patches of grass which may be higher than 300mm. We will make sure that all grass clippings that fall outside the grassed area are blown back onto the verge after cutting (grass clippings will lie where they fall on grass areas).
The teams must be kept to the schedule on the designated streets. Any decision to move them elsewhere must be a last resort. If they are moved elsewhere, it will leave them behind on the whole schedule.
