Earlier this year, Tewkesbury Borough Council’s agreement to maintain grass cutting on land owned by Gloucestershire County Council came to an end. Following a series of complaints from local residents about overgrown grass and untidy green spaces, the borough council has stepped up its grass cutting activities on these areas, despite not owning the land.
The move aims to address community concerns about the appearance and upkeep of public spaces within the borough. While the responsibility officially lies with Gloucestershire County Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council is taking proactive steps to ensure these areas remain well-maintained for residents’ enjoyment.
This development highlights the council’s commitment to improving local environments and responding to the needs and feedback of its community members.
