Caerphilly County Borough Council has said it will ‘phase in’ its grass cutting service after it was halted by lockdown measures introduced to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

Starting on Monday (April 27), council workers will resume grass cutting, primarily on roundabouts and near high speed roads.

The council says its grass cutting team will aim to resume as much of their normal schedule as possible over the coming weeks, while abiding by social distancing measures.

Cabinet member Cllr Nigel George said: “We are able to resume a reduced version of this service whilst complying with the social distancing measures imposed by Welsh Government.

“The lovely weather we have been experiencing over recent weeks has seen the grass grow rapidly and we need to tackle this ahead of the lockdown measure review, this is particularly important on roundabouts and speed roads to ensure public safety.”
