The borough council is fully aware of the delays in mowing grass verges and maintaining amenity areas, such as cemeteries and play areas, across Amber Valley.
These delays are primarily due to the following issues:
We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing and are working diligently to address these delays. Our staff are making every effort to resolve the issues promptly by prioritising grass cutting within our six cemeteries and the 200 recreation grounds in the borough.
While we will continue to mow highway verges, some verges may remain as wildlife areas, while others will receive the usual five cuts this year.
Please note that, due to bird nesting legislation, we are unable to cut hedgerows between March and August unless there is a genuine health and safety concern.
We kindly ask for your patience during this challenging period.
