Traditionally, the first cut takes place during early spring and the final cut during late autumn. Their programme of cutting work is weather dependent.

On their website you can enter your postcode to find out when grass cutting near you will take place, find out who is responsible for specific areas and functions, as well as inform the county council about overgrown verges using their online fault reporting form.
