The Estate’s grounds maintenance contractor, Edges & Hedges, continues with its general duties, but for the next month or so will concentrate of clearing the leaves. There are over four hundred trees on Estate land and these, together with other trees that verge Estate land, shed over twenty tons of leaves annually. The leaf clearance exercise is therefore quite a lengthy and arduous task.
Improvements to footpaths and verges, under the Footpath & Verge Improvement Plan, will continue on a prioritised basis and recent works have been carried out in Hartopp Road and Wentworth Road.
Due to the high standard of Edges & Hedges’ work it has been awarded the Estate’s grounds maintenance contract for a three year period from 1/10/16 to 30/9/19.
