The council’s grass cutting teams have started their work across the city, and the contractors undertaking weed spraying are also now active.
The council is posting messages on social media to explain why this work is going ahead.
Due to very good recent growing conditions, council officers have decided to bring forward by one week the second application of herbicide to control weeds along kerb lines, footpaths and back lanes. So the spraying started on Monday 3rd July, rather than 10th July as had been planned.
Over the coming weeks we will monitor the impact of the spraying and highlight any areas that may have been missed.

Routine quality of service checks are failing to address some problems with verges, weed growth and hedges which are obstructing footpaths.
One option for reporting problems is to use the “My Council” smartphone app.
