Spring cut for West Lancashire
To make the most of West Lancashire’s green garden reputation,
grass cutting and planting has started for the spring.
With the warmer months just around the corner, the Council’s
Grounds Maintenance Team has started its intensive programme to
ensure that the landscape is in pristine condition for the spring
season.
The teams will be cutting the grass at football pitches,
sheltered accommodation areas, parks, open spaces, highways and
housing estates across the district in order to keep the area
clean, green and tidy.
Once finished, residents and visitors will be able to relax in
the beautiful surroundings of the district and enjoy the
countryside and other public open spaces.
Cllr David Westely, Portfolio Holder for Street Scene
Management, said: "We have lots of pretty outdoor garden scenery
and greenery which we have to maintain and spring is a crucial time
of year for us because we have to make sure that the grass is cut
and that the planting work is carried out so that the area is
brought to life in an array of colour for the warmer months. It
also helps us to ensure that we maintain our excellent reputation
of having a landscape to be proud of."
