The Parish Council is doing its best to get the first ‘verge cut’ completed as soon as possible. The cut includes cutting along ‘Siberia’ and the footpath that runs from Cherry Orchard behind ‘the Ranch’ and the pavement along the Coxwell Road. We will also ask if the contractors can do the visibility splays at the top of the Holloway if OCC haven’t got round to that by the time they attend. Hopefully, this will make getting around easier soon. We had requested the cut as early in June as possible but the contractors are very busy due to so many towns and parishes like ourselves delaying their cuts due to no-mow May.
Since 2017, the parish council have been responsible for cutting the grass on the verges within the current 20mph zone of the village as well as the Siberia and behind the Ranch footpaths. The requirement is that we cut them at least once a year. However, we budget for at least 2 cuts and we do want to keep them passable, so we apologise that the timing has been off this year and we will reconsider how we time the cuts for next year. The areas outside the 20mph zone are not our official responsibility and whilst we do get some of them cut, they remain an OCC statutory responsibility and can be reported on fix my street if you feel that is necessary.
