Reduction in Grass Cutting

Changes to grass cutting services on Warrington Borough Council land during the 2024 season.

In 2017 Birchwood Town Council took on some additional, intermediate grass cutting, on Warrington Borough Council land located in Birchwood. This was done in between, and in addition to, the Borough Council’s grass cutting schedule.

 

However, following feedback and complaints from Birchwood residents over the last couple of years, in 2024 there will be some changes to the services that the Town Council currently carries out in the area.

 

It has become evident that in some areas where BTC used to be pro-active, a lack of resources has meant that we have become reactive in a number of important areas, which happen to coincide with the grass mowing season.

 

For the 2024/2025 municipal year, BTC will not be undertaking intermittent grass cutting to enhance the cuts done by WBC.  Resources will instead be used to concentrate on other important work.

 

The Town Council understands that there will probably be a mix of reactions to this reduction in grass cutting, but hopes that residents will understand the reason why this is being done.
